<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Edessa, post: 8279134, member: 84065&quot;]Sorry if this is redundant, but for those language-challenged of us who missed the earlier posts about it, make sure to check out Google Translate. You can take a picture of a foreign language pdf on your computer screen and see the translation in seconds. It took me less than a minute to translate the introductory page in Werz from the links provided. Not perfect by any means, but good enough.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Foreword</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>The present work is the text of my dissertation, which has been slightly changed and partially streamlined, and which was accepted in April 2001 by Department 08 of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main. The aim of the work is to present an easy-to-use catalog of early Imperial coins with countermarks from the Rhine area. A citation work is to be created through a systematic recording and treatment of the countermarks, which will help to record the circulation of coins in the Rhine area more precisely than was previously possible.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Literature published after 2001 could only be included in a few cases. In recent years, a number of publications on counterstamped coins from the Roman Empire have appeared. However, they only rarely allow conclusions to be drawn about coin circulation in the Rhine area. Incorporating these publications later would have enlarged the catalogue, but hardly the knowledge gained&quot;. On the other hand, an attempt was made as far as possible to take into account the more recent coin finds and coin find publications.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>The work was supervised by my supervisor Prof. Dr. HM. suggested by Kaenel. I owe him a lot. Prof. em. dr M. R.-Alföldi and employees of the Ancient Coins Project (FdA) were willing to discuss and thus made it possible to solve many of my questions. J. Starck MA did the difficult work of the first proofreading. His effort and patience were of great value.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Financially, the work was funded over a period of two years by the graduate scholarship to För Development of young scientists from the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am supported. The independent processing of the countermarked coins from Martberg Pomerania, for which FMRD volume IV.4.1, which is about to be created, also produced a small helpful amount of money.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>My colleagues in the coin cabinet of the city of Winterthur lic. phil. Benedict Zäch, Inge Ghelfi and lic. phil. I am deeply indebted to Luisa Bertolaccini MAS. supported you me lovingly and helpfully not only in the lengthy and not always easy Printing. Parts of the manuscript read lic. phil. Luisa Bertolaccini MAS (Winterthur and Baden), Dr. Susanne Frey-Kupper (Prahins), Dr. Peter Ilisch (Muenster), Dr. Stefan Krmnicek (Frankfurt am Main), Dr. Markus Peter (Augst). Prof. Dr. Michael A. Speidel (Basel) and lic. phil. Benedikt Zäch (Winterthur). They all contributed valuable suggestions with their help and made me goofy inaccuracies attentive.</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
