Your article was informative. It talked about the prosperity of Ethiopia and how gold is intertwined in their way of living and society. Your research into this was amazing. And your sources were credible.
Mediaeval Ethiopia was rich in history, gold, trade and wealth. And they were advanced in the smithing of gold and silver. Maybe due to the abundance of gold their mining wasn't advanced but they really knew how to make good use of gold.
But their restrictions on it from the lower class that I don't get.
Honestly, I think the restriction existed more in theory than in practice. They could, at best, restrict display on formal occasions but probably couldn't restrict ownership because it was the lower classes who mined and traded the gold. The upper classes simply taxed and accumulated it
