<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mr.MonkeySwag96, post: 8231256, member: 100951&quot;]Interesting. According to the article, the Shilling/Solidus in question is 13 mm diameter and weighs 1.3 grams, which is similar in size to the Roman/Byzantine Tremissis. I assume debasement is the reason why the Anglo-Saxon shilling/Solidus shrunk to the size of a Roman tremissis?</p><p><br /></p><p>I also find it puzzling that the Frankish deniers and English pennies are described as “descendants” of the Roman denarius when in reality their specifications more closely match the late Imperial siliqua.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
