    chrsmat71 I LIKE TURTLES!

    Looks good! As I mentioned in your featured thread, it sure is nice to see a brief tetrachy tutorial like this. Helps me put it all together.

    I did notice a double word here...

    "The following depiction includes the alternate name forms frequently used by collectors, dealers and authors of historical texts and and reference documents:"

    I still have a hard time keeping these guys strait however.

    I know who is who, but when I read about these guys my brain starts switching them around.




    My brain talking to itself while reading things about the tetrachs..


    "Maximinius daia is the kid right? No...the dad...no wait, he's the kid. NO, NO, Maxininius II isn't the kid of Maximinius I. Maxentius is the kid of Maximinius I. Or was that Maximian? No, Maximian was Maximinius I. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAgh my head!!!!!

    Hey, that's cool. I was trying to figure out what that little green spot was in Gaul around 480. I did't know about these guys. Neat!

    I believe theres an html code you can use to properly scale it for various screen sizes/resolution. I just don;t remember where to look to find it :eek: I havent bothered with html in 15 years.

    Are you thinking of the image element delineated by the width and height attributes? They certainly can be integrated into the page source code (I sometimes do that). Alternatively the parameters can be defined in a CSS style sheet and linked to the HTML document (because they are presentational) -- the trouble with that is that knowledgeable users can turn off style sheets and the effect is lost. Of course, users can also turn off images in their graphical Browsers (and display alternate image text instead) in effect rendering the page as a visual screen reader. The bottom line: is all that really necessary for depicting images on a Forum such as ours?
    (Although the effort required by the author is actually very little).

    Do participants really care if actual coin size is illustrated along with posted images? (most know what the actual coin looks like?). One member posted elsewhere that most include textual coin size information along with their image postings as a matter of course.

    All this actually only comes into play if you copy and paste web page extracts into the Forum message reply window anyway (I do that using my own web pages).

    Just for FYI, following is the source code for a "shorty" web page I just made up depicting a coin image including actual size:

    1. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
    2. <html lang="en-us">

    I think so. I never used it on any of my pages, it always seemed to mess up when I tried to do it (my fault).

    I agree.

    Thank you @randygeki -- please re-check my previous reply -- I forget to include a link to an actual rendition of the HTML code.
