[QUOTE="Magnus Maximus, post: 2253728, member: 73473"]Lol, I knew one guy who was like that, greedy git. I assumed that the "Fouree" Siliqua were manufactured by a counterfeiter, but after I read RS's description for the Valens Siliqua last night I kinda agreed with him; the Imperial Gov. were the only ones with that kind of skill and intelligence to pull that off. This brings many new question to light though: how common are these?, Under which Emperor did the production of them begin under? Were the Legions paid in them(a very dangerous move)? How could the Government tell which coins were real and which were fake when collecting taxes in Siliqua? This period of time (4th Cent) needs so much more study and analysis. All this talk of Siliquae makes me want to get some!:woot:;):D:smuggrin:[/QUOTE]
