<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dltsrq, post: 7504762, member: 75482&quot;]When the <i>limesfalsa </i>(imitations of aes only, never of denarii) were first published about a century ago, they appeared to be associated with the <i>limes</i> but further evidence demonstrated that association to be illusory. The preferred term now for the coins originally called <i>limesfalsa </i>is &quot;lightweights&quot;. Jump to the late 1990s. At that time ancient cast copies of denarii in base metal became more common in the marketplace, particularly in down market venues like eBay. Through a misunderstanding of <i>limesfalsa</i>, some began to market these imitations as &quot;limes denarii&quot;. The term has since gained traction in collector and dealer circles but not so much among academics.
