<p>[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 2762728, member: 84744"]Thanks for drawing my attention to this, [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER]! I think I have the answer: they're part of a series where the officina was doubly identified. In the exergue, first we have R for Rome. The last letter is the usual Greek letter for the officina (B=2nd for yours, Z=7th for mine). The middle letter comes from the sequence "AEQVITI", and identifies the officina by position in the sequence... so "E" for yours and "I" for mine.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is that right?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
