<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blake Davis, post: 7786662, member: 91820&quot;]Terrific article!&nbsp; I have noticed, however, in examining Roman coins that in many instances where I saw a die match on first examination, further inspections revealed small differences indicating different dies. This illustrates the skill of the celator in keeping uniformity among the coins. For example, I think you are saying that the reverse dies of Marius and Laelianus are the same but I am not so sure - there are several differences - such as the curve of one of the arms, and lines in the dress. Still even if different the similarity may indicate it was the same person who made the dies, whether the same or not.</p><p>I will try to post an interesting die match later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
