<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2604103, member: 44316&quot;]I have read both volumes closely and enjoyed them a great deal. Harlan is interested in dating Republican coin types and to that end he explains the histories of the moneyers and what was going on in the Republic and how they might mesh. His theories don&#039;t quite fit all the evidence, but this is true of the theories of every other author who has attempted to put Republican coins on a timeline. You can see some of the types of evidence authors consider on my two pages:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://esty.ancients.info/Repub/TimelineTable.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://esty.ancients.info/Repub/TimelineTable.html" rel="nofollow">http://esty.ancients.info/Repub/TimelineTable.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Harlan&#039;s books are both good reads and the fact there are some disputable dates should not put you off. Keep in mind that Crawford was written in 1973 and clearly needs updating, but no one has managed to put the all the types on a timeline that fits all the evidence. But the quest is very interesting and Harlan&#039;s work is part of that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
