<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7678304, member: 19463&quot;]I suggest letting the people who propose Bicharactus and a coin name rather than &#039;recoinage&#039; and the people who insist on using Aurelianus for the XXI/KA coinage duke it out so I can ignore the winner.&nbsp; Making up &#039;perhaps, maybe&#039; interpretations of a fragmentary text is not science.&nbsp; <u>No one</u> is claiming that the coin ever was called Antoninianus in its day but that is the name applied for years and there is something to be said for precedent unless there is more than a &#039;perhaps, maybe&#039; dream that the accurate answer is now known.&nbsp; Books by experts are full of things they made up to avoid saying there is something that is not known.&nbsp; It is fine to do studies to advance knowledge but it is not good to decide it is your place make up answers in case you do not find anything in your studies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
