<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2605761, member: 44316&quot;]The main critical reviews reviews pointed out that his dates did not fit all (emphasis on <i>all</i>) the evidence. One was written by a man who had just written his own book on the same topic (which, by the way, also got a bad review). I tried to say above that NO ONE has found a way to fit all the evidence. Seriation from some hoard or other doesn&#039;t fit, or some date-of-office in the <i>cursus honorum</i> doesn&#039;t fit, or some quibble appears. If you want to read a book about Republican coins that is &quot;right&quot;, don&#039;t bother to read anything. We simply don&#039;t know enough (and, maybe never will) to explain who all those moneyers were and when they struck their coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>However, if you want to read about the moneyers and their times and types, Harlan is definitely worthwhile. There are some really good stories in those books.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
