Salvete,
Does anyone have dimensions of the original Roman abacus this model was based on?

Another reconstruction of the same original, shown in the Landesmuseum in Mainz, shows the abacus with beads that appear to be loose.

Not slidable elements like in the first reconstruction.
Does anyone know how the original was constructed?
Valete,
Jef
