<p>[QUOTE=&quot;seth77, post: 7506814, member: 56653&quot;]There are so many of these &quot;limes&quot; coins that they must have been actual coinages and not contemporary counterfeits. Oberlander-Tarnoveanu considers them as products of the military units operating on the Danube starting with the 3rd century -- so likely the coins with earlier 2nd century effigies were actually minted long after the emperor depicted on them was dead. As a necessity coinage, the minters had to also take into account the law against counterfeiting the reigning emperor&#039;s coinage and this probably accounts for the copying and mule-ing of earlier coinages.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
