Found mistake in a standard reference - what will you do?
« on: September 10, 2020, 11:45:49 pm »
Sometimes it happens - you look from a different angle at some well known coin published in many works and suddenly you realize that it might be something else entirely. What will be your course of action? As a scientist (in the field of genomics, not in numismatics or ancient history, but after all science is a science  ;)) I did what I am trained to do: wrote a paper. It has been published online yesterday in a new peer-reviewed journal dedicated to ancient numismatics, OZeAN. Have a look: https://www.uni-muenster.de/Ejournals/index.php/ozean/article/view/3016
PDF looks way better than html by the way.
Do you have coins that are actually not what everyone thinks they are?

Great research and well reasoned.  Have you shared this with the authors of RPC?  A few of them are regularly active on the RPC page at Facebook.
