<p>[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 2711135, member: 74282"]I wouldn't quite go as far as to suggest that the Romans were using hubs. Stannard, in the paper you cite, argued the hub was in fact a forger's tool and nothing more and would have been inadequate for use as a hub by a Roman mint. The Romans' well documented use and abuse of some obverse dies well after they've begun to break suggests to me that the process of creating new dies was a process that could take quite some time and was not as simple as the modern process of using a hub for the job.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
