<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4622958, member: 19463"]Reverses were considered appropriate for either men or women at Rome so the scholars assumed the rule was the same in the Eastern mints and considered these coins errors or hybrids. The Eastern mintmasters don't seem to have known that modern scholars would expect them to follow rules of which they never had heard. It works both ways. There are 'female' reverses for Septimius that I don't consider errors as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
