MORE ON ROMAN LEGION COUNTERSTAMPS

Regarding David Rinehart query about Roman legion counterstamps,
Dan Demeo writes: "I do know something of the Legion X Fretensis,
due to a fellow who was doing exactly what David seems to be doing;
he gave several talks at our local ancient coin club, illustrated
with coins, bricks, etc.  He has moved away from Southern California
to the north; his name is Richard Baker.  He was quite accomplished
in counterstamps and their use, especially Legion X -- there were
two tenth legions, and one must discern counterstamps of one from
the other, based on the location of the legion and the date and
location of the coin that was counterstamped.

"Richard has part of his collection on the net at
Richard Baker Collection

"At one point, Richard was writing something on legionary
counterstamps -- it may have ended up in a publication of the
Society of Ancient Numismatics (SAN) or a similar organization."
