C. Marius Capito control marks
« on: June 28, 2021, 03:41:36 pm »
Has anyone done a simple study of the variety of control marks used on the denarii serrati of Caius Marius Capito (Husbandman with yoke of oxen ploughing, Crawf. 378). I have seen a number of wonderful control marks on this type including sub-categories of weapons, musical instruments and even sea creatures like eels, lobster and jellyfish. A list of the marks or any patterns that have emerged in the numbering would really interest me.

Crawford himself lists all control marks known to him and explains the system of their application, pp. 392-5.

I don't know whether this information is available online.

Thank you I will try and find that. In the meantime I have enjoyed trawling through physical and online catalogues and making my own spreadsheet.
