<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 908166, member: 19463&quot;]For what it is worth, the Eastern (Antioch) antoniniani of Gallus have dots on both sides making the concept that they might repeat the info but making us wonder why they used B on one side and two dots on the other. Antoniniani used more workshops and that would require a lot of dots so we see VI on both sides instead of &quot;......&quot; in this case. I&#039;d say the dots make sense as a workshop indicator but can&#039;t say I &quot;know&quot; that is correct.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>RIC also mentions the fact that there are IIV, IV , VI and VII but no V.&nbsp; This leads some to believe that both VI and IV are variants of .... which exists that way also and that there were only four shops.&nbsp; I&#039;m more inclined to look for another reason the shop V did not strike ants but I do not know the latest scholarship on the matter.&nbsp; IIV=... is a bit hard for me to swallow as is IIV=VII.&nbsp; Tell me if you know better.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
