<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1791830, member: 19463"]Reading page 420 middle, they suggest that the dots before and after continued after Crispus was eliminated because his workshop allocations appear in smaller numbers for other rulers. That could mean that the nested crescents started later but the large number of them for Helena (I have one, too) suggests she might not have died as early as usually accepted. All this is based on best guesses or even speculations. Coin evidence like the large number of Helena coins might be more accurate than a biography written a century later by someone who guessed when she died. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]289339[/ATTACH]</p><p> </p><p>This is why some of us buy RIC and some of us prefer the 'Graphic Novel' equivalents like ERIC and Dane's lists.
