<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cmezner, post: 24779642, member: 87809&quot;]Most of our CT&#039;s ancient coins collectors have these dupondii, they were produced for decades and their popularity endures to this day. A very common issue.</p><p>I have a couple too, but this one caught my eyes because all the details are there. It arrived last week <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Aes coins were struck according to mean weight and not as a pezzo (with exact weight). The coins of Nemausus need therefore to be considered as Asses, and having a too high copper component, cannot be considered dupondii.
