I would avoid it. The style is not right IMO.
Traditional figures were soldiers pay at a denarius a day in the early empire. If this is the case, these would be closer to a month....
Do you know the % gold of each of these?
All I can add is that it has not been all that long since the hobby recognized that Pertinax struck denarii at Alexandria. 25 years ago we...
