<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 3294553, member: 44316&quot;]Many scholars over a couple of centuries have worked on that for us. If you can identify a coin type, scholars have assigned it as narrow a date range as they can and you can just look it up.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is even a massive book, <i>Dated Coins of Antiquity</i>, by Edward E. Cohen, about the ancient (mostly Greek) coins that actually have dates on them. Of course, the dates do not use the modern era, so that book explains how the dates on those coins correspond to modern reckoning. Be aware that it focusses almost entirely on Greek coins, not Roman imperial coins. Also, most ancient coins do not have dates explicitly on them, and that book does not cover them at all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
