<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EWC3, post: 3812634, member: 93416&quot;]A further new work on late Roman inflationary matters – very interesting, but not written in a very accessible way.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.academia.edu/38465693/The_Constantian_Monetary_Revolution?email_work_card=title" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.academia.edu/38465693/The_Constantian_Monetary_Revolution?email_work_card=title" rel="nofollow">https://www.academia.edu/38465693/The_Constantian_Monetary_Revolution?email_work_card=title</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I mention a couple of matters that troubled me</p><p><br /></p><p>1) why call the solidus a “4 gram” coin? Surely the preferred theoretical is c. 4.54g, with c. 4.45 generally achieved?</p><p><br /></p><p>2) what do the numbers an the axes on the two graphs near the start stand for? Are they saying by 360 AD a pound of gold was worth almost 10 billion denarii? If not - then what?</p><p><br /></p><p>Those of us who read Buttrey’s sarcastic dismissal of the work of Bolin back in the 1960’s must be struck by how far ideas have now moved…..</p><p><br /></p><p>Rob T[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
