<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ocatarinetabellatchitchix, post: 3263357, member: 99554&quot;]Maybe it is listed as barbarous because unofficial imitations were very common for this emperor&#039;s bronze coinage.In Britain,Spain and Gaul many examples have been found. The theory is that the presence of troops there outstripped the quantity of official coinage, creating shortages. Many of those coins were discovered around military sites. It seems that they were tolerated as coinage there, and probably made not far from military camps by civilian entrepreneurs, to facilitate trade with the soldiers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
