<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2462398, member: 19463"]I have never understood traditional dating of these (2 BC to 4 AD). We are to believe that the type was continued until Caius died in 4 AD while Lucius died in 2? Certainly there were a lot of them made for so short a period whether 4 or 6 years so finding a group buried in 9 AD makes sense but I missed the evidence linking these few coins to one specific historical battle as opposed to a cache buried sometimes before that event or by the victors years later. In any event it would be quite a find.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
