<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2423415, member: 19463&quot;]You are welcome.&nbsp; While we are learning, there is one lesson that needs to be near the front.&nbsp; Many of the things we learn don&#039;t make a lot of sense at least at first.&nbsp; Why the Rome mint decided to use PBTQESZ I don&#039;t know but it just struck me that doing so eliminated gamma and delta which did not look like Latin letters.&nbsp; Perhaps alpha would have been confused for delta.&nbsp; If confusion were a problem the S might have been confused for a S in secundus or shop 2 and some other places went to VI just to avoid having to use a confusing S.&nbsp; We will never know some things and that is the lesson I rank at the top.&nbsp; It is good to ask but expecting an easy or short answer (out of me, anyway) is asking for a miracle.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
