<p>[QUOTE=&quot;britannia40, post: 3141291, member: 74818&quot;]I thought attributing would be a little easier than I find it now. I don&#039;t know the roman characters or emperors by portrait yet so its quite a draining task. I use wildwind.com which I find fairly useful but determining mints and emperors can be a pain. Im thinking it will get easier or maybe im doing it the hard way?</p><p><br /></p><p>Any suggestions on an easier way to do it?</p><p><br /></p><p>I just spent about 30 minutes on wildwind and under a lighted magnifier and was able to possibly get 5 done.</p><p><br /></p><p>#1 Valens, AE3, Siscia. 367-375 AD.
