[B]How is it that the great merchants do not cite this work which has the merit of synthesizing the pre-existing works on this period?[/B] I took the opportunity to recover the illustrated plates where I counted 4 dots out of 51 reproduced coins (346/8,16,40,49), which leads me to wonder if the coins with a obverse central dot were part of the original strikes and that - subsequently - to retouch / repair the obverse die, the engravers worked without this marker Thanks (x100) again for introducing me to this work:happy::happy::happy: François[/QUOTE]
