<p>[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 3520683, member: 87200"]I don't have any siliquae yet but I was wondering about the denomination. Do we have any idea how many large/small bronze coins equaled a siliqua? If we are talking AE4's then it must have been a lot. Maybe with AE2's it would be 5-10 pieces of bronze to the silver coin. And lastly siliquae seem almost rarer than solidi. I assume lots of them were melted down in the 5th century as the economy completed it's last phase of a total collapse which led to in-kind markets, penury, and eventually feudalism.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
