Joe Sermarini:
If you know, please provide the German and English for the following abbreviations for obverse descriptions from AMNG:
Br.
m.
L.
P.
M.
r.
Thanks, Joe
Joe Sermarini:
I actually figured out most of it using the NumisWiki German page.
Br. - bust (Brustbild)
m. - with (mit)
L. - laurel wreath (Lorbeerkranz)
P. - cuirass (Panzer)
M.
r. - right (rechts)
Only the M., which I assume is draped, remains. What is the German word it abbreviates and the English translation?
curtislclay:
Mantel = cloak, or more technically paludamentum, what we sloppily call drapery or draped in English.
Joe Sermarini:
Thanks Curtis.
