<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tejas, post: 8219304, member: 84905&quot;]Thanks a lot Heliodromus for the detailed response. The series is a lot more interesting than I originally thought. Indeed, this discussion has, to some extent, changed my perception of the use of money in late antiquity. The &quot;propaganda&quot; value of coins seems to have been a lot more prominent than I thought, extending even to the lowest denominations. Money and minting was apparently much more of an imperial institution. Maybe coins circulated above all in the vicinity of the imperial court and the army, while large parts of the economy functioned on the basis of barter trade - at least in the 4th century.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
