Gaius Paulinus Maximus Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Some 1,650 years ago someone was so comprehensively fed up with the state of the Roman empire that they committed an act of treason, blasphemy and probably criminal defacing of the coinage. They cursed the emperor Valens by hammering a coin with his image into lead, then folding the lead over his face. http://arts.guardian.co.uk/art/heritage/st...2228673,00.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klingan Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 A very interesting way to practice the lead plate curse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Manicus Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Well, since Valens is now dead I'd call it "Mission: Accomplished." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
