<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3294550, member: 74968&quot;]The dates on Roman coins can be narrowed down by using the legends on the coins. For example you might see COS VI on a coin. In many cases you can find out on what date the emperor was made consul for the sixth time and for the seventh time. This can give you a date range for the minting of your coin. This is a range only and precise dating is not always possible. For example it might have taken a while for the mints to get the message from the emperor, the celators to engrave the new legends, and for the coins to circulate.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an excellent book that can help answer your question. It includes 2 books by Zander Klawans.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Ancient-Greek-Roman-Coins/dp/030709362X/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1546739061&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=handbook+of+greek+and+roman+coins" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Ancient-Greek-Roman-Coins/dp/030709362X/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1546739061&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=handbook+of+greek+and+roman+coins" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Ancient-Greek-Roman-Coins/dp/030709362X/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1546739061&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=handbook+of+greek+and+roman+coins</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
