<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 1565112, member: 29751&quot;]While the ideas of many ancient coins were quite good, the execution of many is simply lacking.&nbsp; For example, I love the old quadriga and biga designs.&nbsp; But, because of technology limitations, they were simply not able to reach the level of execution of modern means (e.g., the quadriga coin I posted earlier designed by Davide Calandra and used on Italian coins of the early 20th century).&nbsp; We all have different perceptions of beauty, but from a purely aesthetic and perfectionistic view regarding the execution of the &quot;trade&quot;, the modern coins blow the ancients out of the water.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, while I give the Greeks an &quot;A&quot; for effort, they get about a &quot;C-&quot; for execution.&nbsp; It&#039;s not their fault -- they were just born 2 millennia too early. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
