Message:: [QUOTE="Pellinore, post: 4401106, member: 74834"]This is a very interesting article (by someone with a beautiful name! Arkadiusz Dymovski. I wish my parents had realised Arcadius is a fine first name). It's a thorough and detailed piece about barbarous denarius imitations of Eastern Europe, that I haven't finished yet. I decided to make pics and measures of all ten pieces I have. Of these ten, five are from a large mixed hoard of denarii and barbarous imitations found years ago near Kursk (in Russia, not far from the Ukrainian border), two are from Ukraine, and as for the others, it is not clear. Most I put a tentative Roman emperor's name on, but I'm not good at identifying reverses. [ATTACH=full]1106146[/ATTACH] B1 Verus? 1.65 mm, 2.76 gr.
