[[money]]

This is so cool, I was actually just studying some material on the Roman conquest of that region last night. Always strange and wonderful still when the synchronicities come up. This comment was super really enlightening https://x.com/jchimirie66677/status/1863936232884982203?s=46

Not only would paper money have disintegrated after all this time, it would also be worthless, except maybe to a collector.
The finder of a gold and silver treasure, meanwhile, is instantly rich - unless the government good squad comes in and confiscates it all.
The ability to store value of gold and silver is still unrivaled.
