Every fallen horseman, soldiers and standards, and Claudius II coin was researched like it was the only if it’s kind by finding other examples!</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway... that’s my guess. When you first get bit by the “ancients bug”... spending 3-4 hours finding a GLORIA EXERCITVS with exactly the same standard type as shown on your coin... well, it’s just what you do![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
