<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2052380, member: 19463"]More than a few of us are as likely to be able to call by name a hundred Romans dead for years as we are to name the next hundred people we meet in places we frequent daily. It gets hard with late Romans when some of the portraits merged into a generic 'emperor' to some degree but anyone who has been doing this a while will get 9 out of 10 denarii with some ease. Also post reverse images since it is often the case that a coin can be IDed from that alone as easily as from the portrait.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
