<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 3932782, member: 97383"]It is interesting that nearly all the examples you have listed have question marks following the attribution Gepids. There is in fact no real evidence any of these coins were actually made by Gepids. To suggest that the imperial mints were controlling the output of solidi in mints controlled by Goths is also a misnomer. Despite the similarity in appearance between the two coinages, barbarians usually made obvious distinctions on their coins like using the inscription <b>COMOB </b>or <b>CONOR</b> instead of <b>CONOB</b>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
