<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 7771740, member: 75525&quot;]A few interesting treasures arrived this week - two books and two coins. I have been waiting for the book by Dr Liv Yarrow for several months (since October). It arrived this week with a coin that is pictured in the book! </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1332838[/ATTACH]</p><p>It is too soon to do a book report on RR to 49BC, but a quick glance says it should be a good read. A holed bronze core of a Q.CASSIVS denarius is shown by a similar coin in Dr Yarrow&#039;s book.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1332842[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The book on Byzantine Scale Weights has something missing from most of my books, a catalog, including pictures, of 319 weights ranging from 1 As (327 grams) down to less than a Solidus (4.55 grams). </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1332843[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1332844[/ATTACH] </p><p>Q.
