<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jochen1, post: 8231469, member: 103829&quot;]Dear friends of ancient coins!</p><p><br /></p><p>We had already discussed this topic once more than 10 years ago without reaching a final result. That is why I would like to raise it again here.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are a number of provincial coins from Markianopolis and Nicopolis on which you can see a kind of indentations running down the side of the garment from the hip to the bottom. What is this about?</p><p><br /></p><p>So far I have found this indentations only on female clothing. It is not an isolated case. I have evidence from Markianopolis under Pontianus, Seleucus and Getulicus, and from Nicopolis under Agrippa and Longinus. Perhaps one or two others have examples from other mints?</p><p><br /></p><p>Is it a property of the clothing or just negligence on the part of the die cutter? Since I am convinced that there was little chance involved in the cutting of the die, it should rather be a property of the clothing. But which one?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1447121[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1447122[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1447123[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1447124[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Any opinion on this is most welcome</p><p><br /></p><p>With thanks in advance</p><p>Jochen[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
