<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ab initio, post: 2597047, member: 80317&quot;]I have come across several Greek Hellenistic bronzes with the reverse (or the obverse in a few cases) &quot;planed&quot; as you say. Most of them had file marks where the plain surface was and this leads me to think that an iron file was used. Was the only purpose of this operation to smooth them so that they would stick on some surface? How about converting them to game tokens or even tickets of some sort, the kind where you are given a token for a pass, like crossing a river, and upon completion of the journey you hand it back to the guy waiting on the other side. Do you know anyone who wrote on these subjects?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
