<p>[QUOTE="David@PCC, post: 4314740, member: 80556"]They really serve no purpose, so I assume they are decorative only. They were cast that way before striking as seen on [USER=75496]@Carl Wilmont[/USER] example for which I was the under bidder. The Macedonians were the first that I I know of to do this, and the Seleucids were copying not long after starting with Seleucus IV. The majority would have been struck at Apamea, Antioch, and Ake Ptolemais. These are in no way related to Roman serrate and probably served a different purpose and manufacture.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
