<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 2172134, member: 9204&quot;]The types on the base metal denarii are fairly free-wheeling, and obviously not standardized like at the official mints. I don&#039;t see why this couldn&#039;t simply be a smaller diameter &quot;denarius&quot; or an ancient fantasy for a quinarius.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I hate the term &quot;limes denarii.&quot; I have yet to see any credible reports that these come from anywhere near the border. The term &quot;limesfalsa&quot; refers <i>specifically </i>to cast imitations of bronze coins found along the Rhine.</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT: My first paragraph doesn&#039;t give enough credit to seth&#039;s theory. It is certainly possible that this bronze piece represents a hitherto unknown quinarius, especially when one considers that these bronzes quite routinely imitate rare or important types.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
