Trouble with Diocletian

Oh, sorry Pish ... was I supposed to toss-in an offering? (well, okay then)

Diocletian Antoninianus
284-305 AD
Diocletian & Jupiter (w. Eagle)



... this is another one of my favourite coins (it's very cool)

=> a God and his Eagle (playin' fetch)

In 2010 I posted a not entirely positive review of ERIC II and will point out that ERIC III is a work in progress. Will ERIC III be better? I hope so. It should be humongous. Raisel does not know how to do things half way. Will I buy it? Probably not unless he leaves out the catalog and corrects all the problems I had with II which he should not do since it is his book not mine.

I never use mine but part of that is that I never got a bound copy having done the review from galley proofs sent me by the author. I would value the chapter heads and introductions were they published separately but have absolutely no use for the catalog sections which make up most of the book. ERIC I is not as great as ERIC II but it was given free to the world if you can deal with pdf files:

You can also buy ERIC II in sections as pdf's but now that the printed book has been reduced to $100 from the author, I'd not bother with the digitals unless I only wanted a part or two. Near bottom of page:

Well, as per usual, Doug has no idea what he is talkin' about ...

Trust me, I'm an engineer => all aboard!!



... just jokes, Big guy (good one, eh?)

 

I have to say that when I first posted, I was a cross eyed, dribbling moron. I have since recovered, and I have enjoyed this thread. By all means, everyone, pile on with your Diocletians, as for me, I am switching off my mail alerts on the phone and going back to bed! See you all in my morning

Never has the truth been spoken so eloquently.
