    Severan denarii CAN be that lightweight, so the weight doesn't condemn the coin by itself.

    Here's my example of the coin:

    Domna Four Seasons denarius.jpg
    Julia Domna, AD 193-211
    Roman AR denarius; 3.24 gm, 19.8 mm
    Rome mint, AD 207
    Obv: IVLIA AVGVSTA, bare-headed and draped bust, r.
    Rev: FECVNDITAS, Terra reclining l. under tree, left arm on basket of fruits, right hand set on globe, spangled with stars; in background, four children advancing r., representing the four seasons.
    Refs: RIC 549; BMCRE 21; Sear 6579
