<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lehmansterms, post: 2664178, member: 80804&quot;]Victor - the CT crew, including the person posting, may not be as familiar with the minutiae involved with these LRB&#039;s as are you and I.&nbsp; I will admit to perhaps presuming a lower level of knowledge than may be the case, but when I write for an audience which includes those who probably know little to nothing about ancient coins, I will occasionally oversimplify. </p><p>Just like the term &quot;Limes Denarius&quot; makes no sense, but is an accepted term in the marketplace and one that some of us have been forced reluctantly to adopt in the name of simplicity of description, &quot;Official Mule&quot; also really doesn&#039;t make any sense. However, since the person who encounters for the first time a Gloria Ex or a Vota reverse on a city commemorative will write-in saying &quot;what the heck is this thing? do I have a mule?&quot;, the term &quot;official mule&quot; is generally explanation enough to suffice for the moment. The full explanation for the existence of these pieces entwined, as it is, inextricably with the complex politics of the rivalries between the successors to Constantine can come later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
