<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3363301, member: 19463&quot;]While I have severe questions of anyone who mistakes these for sestertii, the medallic asses of the Severans are a special interest.&nbsp; For that matter, normal asses are often less than ordinary and study might associate them with a special New Year&#039;s donative or some such.&nbsp; Were they monetary asses or special purpose keepsakes like the British Maundy coins?&nbsp; I only have one, a Geta as honoring his elevation to Consul.&nbsp; Considering the scarcity and low face value, I prefer to imagine these are something more than small change that would be passed down to family or sold to collectors rather than spent.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]891853[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
