<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor_Clark, post: 3496997, member: 10613&quot;]I guess you are talking about his 1933 article, which is very much outdated. Anything pre 1950&#039;s on dating of these coins is not very useful, since the common theory then was that these coins continued being struck into the &quot;dark ages&quot;... see P. V. Hill, “Barbarous Imitations of Fourth-Century Roman Coins” (1950)</p><p><br /></p><p>A few years after his article though, Hill knew that he was wrong. Scholars began having a more complete picture of dating because of hoards and site finds. See J. P. C. Kent, “Barbarous Copies of Roman Coins: Their Significance for the British Historian and Archaeologist.” Limes-Studien 14 (1957); in which Kent argued that imitations were struck contemporary with the prototypes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
