<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 8058208, member: 72790&quot;]Sorry readers and moderators. I don&#039;t know what happened when I hit &quot;enter&quot; The whole text I wrote had disappeared and the images reduced to thumbnails. What I had written, some of it anyway, was that in the market place coins issued as drachmas may have been exchanged or been accepted&nbsp; equally as denarii. These four coins I displayed&nbsp; were issued by Roman authorities as tetradrachmas and if issued to soldiers as pay or contractors for supplies for the army they may have been accepted in the market as multiples of denarii. The coins of Macedonia, the first two, were issued by Roman authorities (one a quaestor under Sulla) at the time of Roman occupation. The cistaphoric tetradrachma was tariffed at three denarii. The last, the Nero tetradrachma of Antioch, was so reduced in weight and debased it is hard to see an easy exchange between the two.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
