<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4625296, member: 19463"]curtisclay is assuming that there was 'intent' so there could be variations or errors from that norm. My belief is that dies were made and combined with less 'intent' than was expected at Rome; perhaps, in some periods, none. It hardly was 'random' but I can not see calling the relatively large numbers of male reverses used with Domna obverses 'errors'. It appears that under some circumstances (time?, place?) the 'rule' was that there was no rule. It would be nice to know, for example, if all the incorrect uses were made earlier and stopped later after the correction communication reached the mint. I have seen no scholarly studies. I do believe that we would be farther along had Bickford-Smith lived and he was an amateur worker not supported by an institution. What little I know or believe I know came from my correspondence with him starting in 1989. What has been learned since his passing? </p><p>BONI EVENTVS II COS (a bit confused by the doublestrike)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1144812[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
