Hey Drennic, have you ever tried to trace the hidden motifs on the edge of Roman denarii? I suspect there's a subtle pattern that could tell us a lot about the minting process.

That’s exactly what I’ve been chasing—those 1st‑century BC bronze stater series from the Kingdom of Pergamon. The edge incisions vary so subtly between the A and B dies that any casual collector would miss it. I’m hoping the irregularities reveal a pattern in the die maintenance routine, maybe even hint at a hidden guild that swapped dies every season. Have you ever examined the small notch at the 7 o’clock position on those? It might be the key.
