<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3126588, member: 19463&quot;]I know we are told it is &#039;cool&#039; to be nice and I am not cool but that chart approaches being harmful to education.&nbsp; Several problems are pointed out above but the one that bothers me most is the relative sizes of the images.&nbsp; I could accept it if all the coins were shown at the same size but they are shown larger for greater values and not at all proportional to actual diameters.&nbsp; They are not random but show a complete misunderstanding of the values of metals.&nbsp; The (tiny) silver sestertius in Early Republic is 2.5 times the size of the (massive) Liberal Aes Grave and a bit larger than the Trajan dupondius.&nbsp; I&#039;d guess the intent was to show that the 2 1/2 as sestertius should be a bit larger than the 2 as dupondius completely ignoring the currency reforms in the intervening centuries.&nbsp; Others are similarly strange. </p><p><br /></p><p>Deacon Ray might come up with something like this but his would be well done.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
