<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carausius, post: 2638378, member: 76440&quot;]Northern provinces tended to use smaller silver. Consider Celtic silver coins as an example.&nbsp; Perhaps quinarii better fit the usage in these provinces.&nbsp; Are they found in larger quantities in any particular region?</p><p><br /></p><p>During the Republic, Victoriati were struck contemporaneously with denarii, but were about 2/3 the weight. They were used for payments to Magna Graecia and perhaps other trading partners who accounted in drachms. Victoriati tend to be found in hoards exclusive of denarii and in these &quot;drachm&quot; areas.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
