It's just a brief little note in an obscure online magazine, but hopefully I've helped enlighten some British metal detectorists. Connections between "metdets" and academics have produced some amazing information about Celtic and early Anglo-Saxon coinage. I can only hope that my little note can help bring about the same results for lead coinage. http://www.mernick.org.uk/leadtokens/newsletters/LTT1311_93.pdf
Congrats. That's something I've never attempted even though both of my sons have been published. Perhaps someday, eh?
interesting ard...and cool. neat pics and write up...cool barbs. i like that giant 54 mm 107 gm token..."thingy" also, neat. i once got a paper published in the journal of herpatology and one in the canadian journal of zoology...both about sleeping lizards. ....it's a long story.
Nice write-up. I archived the PDF and printed off your article put it inside Mattingly's Roman Coins before the back cover. Your three points for identification actually apply quite widely, allowing that "find site" could include "vendor" or "provenance." Congratulation, also on the placement. Considering how much writing we all do in these boards and forums, I am surprised that more people do not write for publication. And, really, I guess we do. This, too, is publication. It ain't just paper no more.
It really is curious that so few tesserae found on British soil can be positively attributed as Roman. I wasn't aware of that fact.
nicely done ... apparently you're not just another pretty avatar, eh? Congrats!! => wow, now I can say "yah, but I knew him before he was a big-shot-author"
Ever the academic you be Ardy, I'm sure this is just the beginning of many such articles and contributions to scholarly journals and publications. Congrats my friend......
Thank you so much for the warm response. I have a number of side projects that I work on in my free time, but this is the only one that made it into a presentable form. Hopefully you have inspired me to bring a few more of those to fruition!
