<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ocatarinetabellatchitchix, post: 3773448, member: 99554&quot;]Evidence shows that one of the first waves of imitatives - Claudian asses from Britain, as well as Spain and northern France- likely originate in or next to military camps.&nbsp; These coins were therefore almost certainly authorized by the military to provide troops with small change. The late 3rd - early 4th century casts from Egypt were likely made to make up shortages used when the centuries old tradition of striking local Alexandrian coinage ended in the 290s. I also remember that Postumus issued cast bronze, and Severus maybe command himself the production of cast coins as « pièces de nécessité » for the pay of his troops. One thing is for sure ; these pieces were certainly not produced for fooling anyone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
