[QUOTE="Suarez, post: 3593172, member: 99239"]The Romans used these [I]interpuncts [/I]the same way we use spaces between words; as an aid to facilitate reading. However, they were inconsistently used and, I'm guessing, normally regarded as superfluous back then (at least on coins). In my work I typically disregard them - as well as legend breaking patterns - as trivial unless at the end of a legend, in which case it obviously has some other function. Rasiel[/QUOTE]
