AOC Archaeology Group@aocarchaeology·Nov 6 it might be easy for us, but reading the run-on text and numismatic text conventions can be a fun brain teaser for others :)But then it's not a "guess" is it? ("Anyone fancy having a stab at reading the name of the emperor on this coin"?) Again though this that nasty habit archaeologists have of playing the role of the gatekeeper with finds ("I'm clever enuff to read/know this, bet you can't, prole")
Why do British archaeologists not communicate archaeology and not applied numismatics etc?
