<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 3458739, member: 51347&quot;]Thank you.</p><p><br /></p><p>I chuckle about these ROMAN coins being called DiDrachmae by modern numismatists.&nbsp; I really enjoyed Kennith Harl&#039;s book on the Roman Economy... he stated that, since the coin was tarriffed at 10 Asses, and Denarius is a derivative of Latin word TEN, then the Romans would had probably called these coins a DENARIUS... They were much heavier than the than the post-reform Denarii of 211 BCE.&nbsp; Ergo, Harl dubbed these as &quot;Heavy Denarius&quot;.&nbsp; Kinda rethinking through the eyes of the people that ISSUED the coins, rather than what we PERCEIVE them today.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This horse is shy, not wanting to show his shoes:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]919606[/ATTACH]</p><p>RR Anon <b>AR Heavy Denarius</b> -&nbsp; Didrachm 275-270 BCE ROMANO Apollo-Galloping Horse Sear23[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
