<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2473216, member: 74282&quot;]Not necessarily - 20 gram asses were struck in Sardinia, Sicily or Southern Italy during the second Punic War(cf. McCabe&#039;s paper on anonymous bronzes from Essays Russo, group H1) so we know that bronzes struck for use elsewhere were not necessarily struck to Roman weight standards standards. These may well have been struck at some standard already in-use by the locals and meant purely for local circulation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
