No one seems to answer just how the transfer dies were made with the technology then current. I disagree that most fourrees are great style...
Has anyone seen this book? Perhaps the long reign which broke into periods around the three wars with Rome can be associated with coin types???...
[ATTACH] Me, too but it is much too small. My records say I bought it in 1989 from a dealer named Dorney for $5. My favorite barb is this...

Mine is too beautiful for the call as presented but gets posted for its similarity to the coin shown. The PP moved to the other side on this die....
For several years in Rome, a denarius was a day's pay more or less for a low ranking soldier. Today a Private E1 charts at about $77 a day. Both...
