Copper _wire_ requires you to be able to draw wire, not just refine copper. I'm not sure if the ancient Greeks knew how to do that.

- unkeptbarista 5y agoI'll admit that I was assuming that since many civilizations at that time knew how to make gold and silver filigree, that copper wire was also possible. One can probably replace the copper wire with gold wire, but you might have a hard time convincing the locals to loan you some for demonstration.
