<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1694606, member: 19463"]RIC suggests that the really bad coins of Carausius were from the first part of the reign with improvement coming later (perhaps 290?) when the AVGGG series is found along with most of the C mint coins. For purpose of study, we probably should not ignore ugly coins since they may be all there is of their types. I have a few that are pretty rugged but I'm keeping them in the hope of learning more about the series someday. I would hope the Frome hoard will lead to enlightenment. Since so much of what we now know about Carausius has come from coins, that would seem a reasonable expectation given time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
