<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1977282, member: 42773&quot;]Well, read David Atherton&#039;s reply...</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Richard Abdy of the British Museum examined the coin in question last year when it was part of the BM’s Pompeii exhibit. In his article ‘The Last Coin in Pompeii’ in the 2013 Numismatic Chronicle he concluded the reverse legend actually reads TR P VIIII IMP XIIII COS VII, dating it to July/August 79 AD. Oh well.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>We need to see a picture of the coin. It&#039;s hard to imagine any confusion between the reading of IMP XV and IMP XVIIII on a newly-struck, uncirculated coin. A drawing won&#039;t do. We need to see the coin, not somebody else&#039;s interpretation of it. Was a picture of it published in NC?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
