<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8202534, member: 110350&quot;]That probably makes better sense. It&#039;s too easy sometimes to explain things away by saying they were erroneous. It&#039;s clear that the change-over must have happened soon after the birth on March 7, given the known survival of only one TR P XIII obverse die for the type, and given&nbsp; the fact that the only known reverse die paired with it continued to be used with the TR P XIIII obverse dies for the type after the change-over. Obviously, it hadn&#039;t been worn out yet. One might wonder why they bothered making TRP XIII obverse dies at all with the tribunician date coming up so quickly, but I suppose the occasion was important enough that they would have wanted to celebrate it as soon as possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding Beckmann&#039;s theory, I confess that I don&#039;t have the book, so I can&#039;t comment on the strength (or not) of his evidence.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
