dougsmit Pillar of the Community United States 1549 Posts	Posted 11/26/2011 11:45 am Why do you write: VP IOVL ANT(CELEVKOV MAP)KIANOPOLITWN rather than: VP IOVL ANT CELEVKOV MAPKIAN(OPOLIT)WN? Report this Post to the Staff
Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 11/26/2011 11:59 am Sorry. I meant to take out the parenthesis. That is how it was written on a coin I found where that part of the legend was illegible. I was having a ton of trouble finding this particular coin. Is the attribution correct then?

dougsmit Pillar of the Community United States 1549 Posts	Posted 11/26/2011 8:36 pm "Is the attribution correct then?" I hope you were not asking me. I do not own that book and one thing I try very hard not to do is quote catalog numbers from books I have not checked. I realize there are may wonderful online resources and 99% of the time you might get a correct reference number from them but unless you understand what the original author used to separate one coin from another, it is asking for error to quote second hand numbers. I see no need for catalog numbers except as a shorthand for separating one coin from another. The ID of the coin otherwise is as I see the coin except it bothers me that no one mentions that large E in the field or applies the denomination name (E=5 assaria) as if that is of no importance.
