>minted by Brutus and Cleopatra... More likely minted under their respective reigns. I doubt they'd personally have wielded the crucibles </pedantry>

  No crucible was involved in the minting of those ancient coins, they are of the kind that were hammered/stamped. </pedantry^2>

    But someone had to melt the metal in the first place </I see your pedantry and raise you>
    • jaclaz 4y ago
      Yep, but that was (in your words) the first place, it happened before the actual minting, i.e. the melting and casting produced the blanks, while the minting transformed the blanks into coins, and very likely they were different workshops. </You are welcome>
