<p>[QUOTE="dltsrq, post: 7816575, member: 75482"]The overstrikes suggest an intriguing possibility. In Britain, post-318 Constantinian bronzes are frequently found overstruck with false 'fallen horseman' dies, usually understood as an attempt to recoup losses from the demonetization that accompanied the reform of 348. Might something similar have been going on in Eastern Europe after the reform of 318? Even if there had been no general demonetization in 318, the coins of Licinius may have presented a problem after his defeat. One might also wonder to what extent demonetized coins fed the melting pot for those VLPP imitations struck on new flans. Interesting stuff.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
