Message:: [QUOTE="Orielensis, post: 4855281, member: 96898"] That's interesting and helpful. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge! With the help of your table, I can date my Carus to August 282 to autumn 283, and my Carinus and Numerian to Feb/Mar 283 to Nov 284. (I hesitated to show my coins her since they are much less attractive than the examples on [USER=44316]@Valentinian[/USER] 's website – but well, let's do it nonetheless.)
