<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4582539, member: 19463&quot;]There will never be agreement on how to treat Provincials.&nbsp; For that matter, there will never be agreement on whether you post Provincials along with Imperials of the same ruler or in a separate Provincial section.&nbsp; What do we do with semi/quasi-autonomous listed as from the &#039;time&#039; of Gordian?&nbsp; Do they go with their city, with Gordian or in a separate autonomous section at the end of either main group?&nbsp; Frank Robinson still uses Greek cities by alphabet ignoring location but even the standard location method has problems with cities that share a border between provinces and lists cities inside a province alphabetically.&nbsp; This is not just an ancient problem.&nbsp; Bristol, Virginia, and Bristol, Tennessee, share the Main street with one side in one state and the other side in the other.&nbsp; Recently, Tennessee allowed restaurants to reopen while Virginia told their closed restaurants to watch their competitors serving across the street.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of all the things I might disagree with in &#039;standard&#039; references, the one I hate most was Sear&#039;s decision to separate out Archaic coins in an alphabetical listing but to lump Classical and later all together in the main body.&nbsp; History so, so rarely blows a whistle and says, &quot;OK, people, we are medieval now.&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
