<p>[QUOTE=&quot;romismatist, post: 8069255, member: 44106&quot;]I believe that a lot of these worn Augustan/Tiberian As coins were typically used by the legions. Usually you see the &quot;SC&quot; coins with Tiberian countermarks like &quot;TICAE&quot; or &quot;TCA&quot;. I have also seen this &quot;B&quot; countermark on coins with these countermarks, so I think it&#039;s of the same vintage. Some of these coin types even occur as contemporary forgeries with blundered legends and forged countermarks. The countermark was added to maintain the coin as legal tender within the peripheral military regions. I think they were used in Dacia during this period, although I am not certain.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
