<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2285088, member: 44316&quot;]The internet is wonderful. I just got this tiny Greek fraction:</p><p>It is only 6-5 mm and 0.255 grams.</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=troxell-kagan" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=troxell-kagan" rel="nofollow">[ATTACH=full]457360[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]457361[/ATTACH] </a></p><p>We have frequently noted the remarkable detail on Greek fractions. Remember, the image here is greatly enlarged.</p><p>&nbsp; But, what is a reference for it? I have a good library with the usual reference works relevant to Greek fractions, but they did not have this type. By the way, here is a list of some good reference works:</p><p><a href="http://esty.ancients.info/catalogs/Greekfractions.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://esty.ancients.info/catalogs/Greekfractions.html" rel="nofollow">http://esty.ancients.info/catalogs/Greekfractions.html</a> </p><p>I will upadate it when I find the time. The seller had the reference &quot;Troxel-Kagan 12&quot;. But, what is that?&nbsp;&nbsp; Well, I googled &quot;Troxel Kagan&quot; and found this:</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Troxell" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Troxell" rel="nofollow">Troxell</a>, H. A. and J. H. Kagin. “Cilicians and Neighbors in Miniature” in <i><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Kraay-M%F8rkholm%20Essays" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Kraay-M%F8rkholm%20Essays" rel="nofollow">Kraay-Mørkholm Essays</a>.</i></p><p>in the very first link. Then I copied the exact title and searched for it (in quotes). I found the article on Academia.edu</p><p><a href="https://www.academia.edu/9867389/Cilicians_and_Neighbors_in_Miniature" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.academia.edu/9867389/Cilicians_and_Neighbors_in_Miniature" rel="nofollow">https://www.academia.edu/9867389/Cilicians_and_Neighbors_in_Miniature</a></p><p>If you have a scholarly interest and don&#039;t know about Academia.edu, you should. They allow members to upload papers and categorize them (say, &quot;ancient numismatics&quot;) and anyone to find them. Join (be an &quot;independent researcher&quot; if you are not associated with a university), and you can even get weekly notifications of new posting in the areas you want to follow.</p><p>&nbsp; Anyway, I downloaded the article and printed it. (I prefer paper to reading on screens.) The type is illustrated there as type 12, as the seller noted.</p><p>&nbsp; So, I found and got a copy of a pretty obscure reference work in a few minutes! The internet is amazing![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
