    Dear Hadrianus and Ricia - and others as well! Ricia, you gave us an in-depth look at the world of using coins, and raised up together with Hadrianus an interesting question: did the Roman artesans (not "artists") consider themselves "artists" in some (more modern) sense? Or were they just "working there?" Anyone have a comment or a reference on this?
