<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 1702074, member: 9204&quot;]There are coins that show the temple of Vesta, another circular structure, but none of those have the same grasp of perspective. </p><p><br /></p><p>Archaeology has not been kind to the tesserae. The scholars who examine the coins dismiss them as non-coins, leaving them for another to publish. The scholars who examine the small metallic objects dismiss them as coins, leaving them for another to publish. And so they fall through the gap! So the only published Asia Minor tesserae are a small series from Sardis that are unrelated to the present group. </p><p><br /></p><p>The gold standard for publications of coins found in excavation is the report of the American School&#039;s dig in Athens. Several hundred tesserae were found there, with many of the Roman period being discovered in the Stoa of the Agora. So the best context we have for any tesserae is in a strictly commercial setting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
