<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1298837, member: 26302&quot;]Martin, very nice coin. Since every ancient is unique, there is no such thing as having duplicates! (Well, try it on the wife <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />).</p><p><br /></p><p>One issue about silvering that has always bothered me. It seems the silver used for this very debased silver was wasted. Think about it, it is too little silver to reclaim by melting really, so this had to have an affect on Roman silver supplies. Is this large number of debased silver coin responsible for the later lack of silver coinage in the mid 4th century through the end of the western empire? I know there were some, but they are pretty scarce. What did this lack of silver coinage do to their economy.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am sure this has been discussed numerous times before, I just had never heard the conversation. I am not dumb enough to believe its a new thought.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
