[QUOTE="Alegandron, post: 4530328, member: 51347"]Sorry, the AE1-AE4 measurements means absolutely no sense to me. I get it, but! Whenever you describe a Bronze coin size, ANY OTHER time in Ancient History, you just state AE12 for 12mm, or AE20 for 20mm, etc. etc. WHY do LRB's have to be described by some odd range of size under those 4 categories?
