I&#039;m not sure if this derives from find spot evidence. Maybe these coins circulated in provinces or towns in provinces like Moesia, when they experienced copper coin shortages. Or these coins may have been made in regions and cities, from which the Roman empire withdrew, but which continued to have some kind of monetary economic system.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1431710[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The imitations in the name of Magnentius and Decentius may have been minted in modern southern Germany or the Alsace region of France just after the death of Magnentius and Decentius, when these regions were overran by Germanic peoples.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1431713[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
