Quote:This is the current tollAnd new ones continue coming in:
This is the current toll (still rising, I’m still following a Bulgarian trail):
30 from Serbia
27 from Britain
15 from Austria
12 from Slovenia
10 from Hungary
10 from France (up from 9)
8 from Croatia (up from 6)
8 from Italy
7 from Switzerland
5 from Germany
4 from Georgia/Abchasia
3 from Greece (but the dates are problematic and possibly BC)
2 from Bulgaria (up from 1)
2 from Rumania
1 from Liechtenstein
1 from The Netherlands
1 from Slovakia
That totals 146 plumbatae from publications which includes a find spot, some measurements and most of the time a description.
To that total of 146 published items, I can add another 32 (up from 21) plumbatae that are either unprovenanced or from some sort of internet auction. I cannot vouch for these being either originals or from the areas they are supposedly found in. A further 8-11 are totally unprovenanced and might even be modern forgeries.
The grand total stands at 189 (November 22nd, 2011 - up from 173 on June 24th, 2011).
