<p>[QUOTE="Ocatarinetabellatchitchix, post: 8224219, member: 99554"]Let’s have a little fun here: it’s been a while we didn’t have a « coin Challenge ». What is your coin with the longest legend ? The problem with this question is we don’t hall have coins of the same size; so sestertii’s collectors would have an advantage on our challenge. So to equalize the chances, here is what we can do: calculate the circumference of our specimen, count the number of letters in the legend and this will give the quantity of characters per millimeters on our coins.</p><p>For example, here are two Victorinus with a circumference of 60 mm ( diameter of 19.1 mm X 3.1416= 60 mm). The obverse legend on both coins contains 30 letters:</p><p>IMP CM PIAVVONIVS VICTORINVS PF AVG. So 30 letters and 60 mm= <b>1 letter every 2 millimeters</b>… I don’t believe anyone can beat that ! Can you ? IS THERE NO ONE ELSE ?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1445000[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1445001[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1445006[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://tenor.com/view/scared-brad-pitt-is-there-no-one-else-fight-me-challenge-gif-14473512" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://makeagif.com/gif/is-there-no-one-else-troy-15-movie-clip-2004-hd-7T5HZe" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://makeagif.com/gif/is-there-no-one-else-troy-15-movie-clip-2004-hd-7T5HZe" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://makeagif.com/gif/is-there-no-one-else-troy-15-movie-clip-2004-hd-7T5HZe" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
