<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3557661, member: 19463&quot;]Agree.&nbsp; This is something we see far too often which makes me hesitant to accept anything unless I have seen the reasoning.&nbsp; All it takes is one &#039;expert&#039; (not even a recognized expert but someone my level) who decides to tack on a name for convenience sake and small silver coins become obols no matter what the people that made them thought they were.&nbsp; Are there enough of these large coins recorded to make us certain they were a 15 rather than a 16 denomination?&nbsp; I have no problems with theories presented as such but readers interested in labeling their collections show a great preference for names like Centenionalis to terms like AE2 or simple measurements like 22mm bronze. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is inappropriate for me to question carefully considered scholarship which I have not read or do not understand.&nbsp; It is also wrong to give life to wild guesses based on scanty evidence.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
