<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Magnus Maximus, post: 2155610, member: 73473&quot;]I was doing a bit of research and this is what I found<i>&quot; Magnus Maximus( 383-388), the tenacious usurper of the West, reduced by one-sixth the weight of Siliqua at Londinium&nbsp; and the Gallic mints to 1.9 grams, and even by more after he occupied Aquileia and Rome (1.5g)</i></p><p><br /></p><p>And</p><p><i>The weight of Light Siliqua was extremely variable. This fact has led some researchers to conclude that there was a 1-1/2 Siliqua later in the Empire after the reform of 355/6. However these pieces are best understood as Siliqua struck to the old standard of 96 to a Roman pound, possibly for donatives or ceremonies. </i></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I love history!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie26" alt=":bookworm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
