<p>[QUOTE=&quot;seth77, post: 2172124, member: 56653&quot;]Quinarii in the 3rd century are quite under-represented in collections. There are however silver quinarii known for Alexander as Augustus, Orbiana and Julia Maesa as there are for Elagabal.</p><p>For instance, this piece sold by Goldberg Coins (<a href="http://www.goldbergcoins.com/view-auctions/catalog/id/19/lot/48365/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.goldbergcoins.com/view-auctions/catalog/id/19/lot/48365/" rel="nofollow">http://www.goldbergcoins.com/view-auctions/catalog/id/19/lot/48365/</a>) was minted at roughly the same time Alexander was appointed as Caesar so it might be possible that a small quantity of quinarii was also minted in his name, from which one spec became the blueprint for limes money.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]419580[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This is of course based on very little actual evidence to make it a theory, so it&#039;s more likely a hypothesis.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
