<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RichardT, post: 7752920, member: 100005&quot;]Your question about whether any emperor issued pure silver is, to reiterate, answered by <i>The Metallurgy of Roman Silver Coinage: From the Reform of Nero to the Reform of Trajan.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Roman Republican issues (in general), along with the issues of Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero before his coinage reform are all considered to be pure silver by ancient standards. </p><p><br /></p><p>Not by our modern standards of course, but by ancient standards, the silver will have been refined to the limits of their technology. The ancients intended and perceived it to be 100% pure.</p><p><br /></p><p>Domitian also issued 100% pure silver (again by ancient standards) for a short period. Please look at the table again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
