I think Archimedes drew the first chart with some lines in the sand with a wooden stick, discovered a bull flag on the roman Dinar and was fu..ed up by a surprising move by the roman central banker Tullius Perversus to lower the silver grade by 10% to finance the war against Sicily. He was right but had a bad timing.
I believe Mr Perversus was the Bernanke of his day, or the Greenspan?

That's for sure. And he received highest honours for his economic wisdom...
