<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 711303, member: 4552&quot;]As usual GDJMSP should know this since he was there. Probably the person that started the dating stuff. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Not that I doubt that but I really wonder just how good dating was back then as to exact dates. I wasn&#039;t there so don&#039;t know. </p><p>This all really does lead to some interesting questions though. For example the Jewish Year. The Chinese Year. Shouldn&#039;t they be putting thier dates on their coins? If not, why? So how many other places have thier own calendar and if so, why not put thier dates on thier coins. </p><p>And just why is the dates on the front, obverse, instead of the rear, reverse? And then too, who decides on where the Mint mark goes on our coins and why? </p><p>And most important of all is why not put AD on modern coins and none have BC after the dates? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
