<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JulianIX, post: 3739714, member: 96184&quot;]Yes, there are so many examples of the names of coins changing over the years.&nbsp; And facts superseded. Obsolete factlets. Even as a beginner I&#039;ve found examples of auction houses, books and forum posters getting major things awry! As you say, text is copied and recopied. Btu history changes as it always does. New coins are found. New archaeology. New ideas are overlaid and new stories threaded together. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for XXI matter. I read your notes here:</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/feac73xxi.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/feac73xxi.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/feac73xxi.html</a></p><p>I&#039;m not quite clear yet where the 20 sesterces to 1 aurelianianus pegging came in and phased out in actual history, if it did at all. The metal ratio makes a lot of sense. I wonder who invented Aurelianianus ? I can see why scholars might want to call the post-reform coins of Caracalla, Aurelianus, Diocletian by different names but I&#039;m complete lost in the detail and footnotes right now.&nbsp; My book by &quot;Coinage in the Roman Economy&quot; by Kenneth Harl has one omission that I&#039;ve noticed - there are bound to be many so I&#039;m not taking it as gospel.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
