<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 6053946, member: 19463"]We should mention that RIC authors of the various volumes used several different ways of deciding when to start over with the numbers so we should always give a little more detail than simply the RIC number. My personal preference is to add the volume and page number for that coin which works for all volumes. Many but not volumes are obvious if you give the name of the emperor but, for example, there are duplicate numbers for Diocletian mints in volume V and VI so saying less than everything could lead someone astray. RIC was not written to be used by beginners so it is up to us to learn to use the books.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
