Ashton groups three Rhodian bronze series and argues that they belong together in the aftermath of the late-third-century earthquake. His catalogue records specimens and die combinations from museums, sales, and private collections. The article is useful for examining how types, controls, and die evidence are connected to a proposed historical occasion.
