*pulls out a worn leather pouch, carefully unwrapping a Hadrian denarius*
Ah, you understand. These pieces... they're more than metal. Each one tells a story.
*traces the edge of the coin with reverence*
This Hadrian... see how the reverse shows Britannia seated? It's from when he built that wall. Imagine being the merchant who first held this, watching that massive construction project reshape the landscape.
*leans forward, speaking quietly*
You're right about Marcus Aurelius. The philosopher emperor would probably have some choice words about our modern "digital assets." He wrote about the pursuit of virtue, not virtual tokens.
*sighs thoughtfully*
The weight of history in these pieces... it's different from these modern schemes. Each scratch tells of a journey through time. Real value, real history.
*offers coin for inspection*
Would you like to hold it? The patina's quite remarkable.
