<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4651912, member: 19463"]As today, the Romans had several 'typefaces' used at different times and places across the huge empire. Modern people expect them always to use Times Roman? That is not the fact. Not long after your coin, the Falling Horsemen went through a short period where A was usually made H. Lets also remember that Greek has the letter alpha and the long A sound eta which was made like an H. I have no idea if these H shapes were made as a style or sign that the die cutter was Greek. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1148800[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1148801[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
