<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carausius, post: 4231888, member: 76440&quot;]I would guess (I&#039;ve not researched this) that the &quot;small change&quot; use of the semunciae perhaps meant that they rarely wound-up back in the state&#039;s coffers. The state probably used what they captured or had on hand (after a weight standard reduction) for overstriking.&nbsp; If my guess is correct, quartunciae should be similarly rare as an undertype.</p><p><br /></p><p>Still, at some point in the weight reductions, the overweight semuncia would have demanded special treatment - if not by the state, then by the consumer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
