[QUOTE="Choucas, post: 7697343, member: 100117"]Very interesting thread, thank you for bringing him into light! It's funny because I've always found that the plates in De Witte's book [I]"Recherches sur les empereurs qui ont régné dans les Gaules au IIIe siècle de l'ère chrétienne" [/I]were of very high quality, but I did not pay much attention to the engraver before your thread. It appears that Léon Dardel made them as well. It's truly a great work. It's amazing how you can sometimes find the very coin he reproduced or find die matches with the plates. Some pictures plates are way worse than that... I have this coin that is a obv. and rev. die match with the De Witte#309.[ATTACH=full]1321237[/ATTACH] Postumus, ae reduced double sestertius IMP C M CASS LAT POSTVMVS P F AVG VICTORI AVG (sic) [ATTACH=full]1321238[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
