<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 8274940, member: 26430&quot;][USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] , yours is Werz 39 (i.e., &quot;Gegenstempel 39&quot; on pages 100-101 of Ulrich Werz, 2009, Part II: Katalog). I don&#039;t read German well, but he describes this type as being used for AE As of Claudius (including one imitation, I believe, and one official).</p><p><br /></p><p>He discusses whether it might relate to Legio I Adiutrix or Legio II Adiutrix. I can&#039;t tell what he thinks, though, because it&#039;s German, but doesn&#039;t sound positive.</p><p><br /></p><p>He cites &quot;Giard, BN II 1988, 13&quot; and elsewhere also cites Giard, 14. They are illustrated on Giard&#039;s plate A, 4 &amp; 5. The reference is to:</p><blockquote><p>J.-B. Giard, <i>Catalogue des monnaies de l’empire romain II. De Tibère à Néro</i> (PARIS 1988) [Note: Cataloging coins of <i>Bibliotheque Nationale de France</i>]</p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think your countermark is included in Howgego.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are links for Werz&#039;s full study (this is separate from his 2004 book cataloging the Konrad Bech catalog collection):</p><blockquote><p>Project website:</p><p><a href="http://publikationen.ub.uni-frankfurt.de/frontdoor/index/index/docId/6876" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://publikationen.ub.uni-frankfurt.de/frontdoor/index/index/docId/6876" rel="nofollow">http://publikationen.ub.uni-frankfurt.de/frontdoor/index/index/docId/6876 </a></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><blockquote><p>There are multiple links, I tend to use part II: Katalog:</p><p>[Note: Direct link to 886 page .pdf document]:</p><p><a href="http://publikationen.ub.uni-frankfurt.de/files/6876/2Werz_Gegenstempel_Teil_II.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://publikationen.ub.uni-frankfurt.de/files/6876/2Werz_Gegenstempel_Teil_II.pdf" rel="nofollow">2Werz_Counterstamp_Part_II.pdf (6794 KB)</a></p></blockquote><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
