Wait, let's verify: In the original 0° image: On the far RIGHT is `P` (upside down). To its left is `L` (upside down). To its left is `A` (upside down). To its left is `T` (upside down). To its left is `E` (upside down). To its left is `V I I I` (upside down). YES! Because 180° rotation reverses both vertically and horizontally! So when rotated 180 degrees: `PLATE VIII` is at the bottom-right? Wait! In the 0° image, `PLATE VIII` is near the top, towards the right. So when rotated 180°, `PLATE VIII` is near the BOTTOM, towards the LEFT! Wait, why would `PLATE VIII` be at the bottom? Wait! Is this page in landscape, scanned in portrait, or is it a plate printed vertically? Look at the plate: The bands are horizontal. If `PLATE VIII` is at the top of the plate, then the plate is oriented with `PLATE VIII` at the top! Wait, why is `PLATE VIII` near that band? Because that band (with the oval beads) has a scale: `0 1 2 3`. Wait, when rotated 180 degrees: The scale under that band reads: `0` on the left, then `1`, then `2`, then `3`! Yes! `0 1 2 3`! And under that band is `17.`! And above the band (which is currently below it) is `PLATE VIII`! Wait! When rotated 180 degrees: `PLATE VIII` is at the top? No, in the original image, `PLATE VIII` is at y ≈ 60px (near the top edge). Wait, why did I think it was at the bottom when rotated? If it is at y ≈ 60px out of 1000px, then when rotated 180°, it moves to y ≈ 940px (near the BOTTOM)! Wait, why would "PLATE VIII" be at the bottom?
