<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2423362, member: 19463"]Your vision is 20/20. The problem here was caused by someone copying the RIC listing which always lists the mark for the first officina (in this case RP) and the tackig on the correct letter E for the 5th shop without deleting the P. We might as well mention here that Rome at this period was strange in the way they numbered their workshops. Most mints chose between Greek numerals or Roman ordinals but Rome mixed the two systems up so #1 was P for Primus and #5 was E for the Greek 5).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
