Alas, no, shock:
I suspect what we are doing will be the first proper survey/study for a hundred years,especially in English, and a lot has come to light since then!
As to numbers, more than most people suspect - I would think several hundred at least ?.......and I haven't been to the Greek museums...Greek guys, help out here?
Then there's those from Spain and Scythia.... and before Dan berates me, I forgot to mention those of Italy in my earlier post... :oops:
