<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 1882219, member: 9204&quot;]A quick geographical guide to ancient imitations:</p><p><br /></p><p>- 1st century - Augustus - asses and dupondii - Balkans (moneyer type) and Gaul (Altar of Lugdunum)</p><p>- 1st century - Augustus &amp; Tiberius - full silver denarii - India</p><p>- 1st century - Claudius - sestertii, dupondii, and asses - Balkans (sestertii, Spes type) and Gaul (asses and dupondii). NONE struck in Britain</p><p>- 1st-3rd century - Various rulers - Plated denarii - everywhere, it was a global phenomenon</p><p>- 2nd century - Antoninine rulers - sestertii, dupondii, and asses - cast copies at borders and in Spain and Gaul</p><p>- 2nd century - Antonine rulers - full silver denarii - Dacia</p><p>- 2nd-3rd century - Antonine and Severan rulers - full gold aurei - India</p><p>- 3rd century - Gallienus and the Gallic emperors - antoniniani, &#039;radiates&#039; - Spain, Gaul, North Africa. Very few actually produced in Britain, none outside of the Empire</p><p>- 3rd century - Tetrarchic rulers - large cast folles - Egypt</p><p>- 4th century - Constantine &amp; Sons - folles - Balkan region, primarily the two-victories and altar type</p><p>- 4th century - City commemoratives - folles - Britain and Gaul</p><p>- 4th century - Constantius II - fallen horseman type - Most within the empire, particularly the early cast imitations. Later ones *may* have been produced outside.</p><p>- 4th century - Theodosius &amp; family - struck bronzes - Within the empire</p><p>- 4th-5th century - late rulers - full silver and clipped siliquae - Britain</p><p>- 5th century - late rulers - crude nummi and small bronzes - Across the empire</p><p><br /></p><p>Note that only two of these, and virtually none of the bronzes, are truly &#039;barbarous.&#039; That&#039;s why I always call them &#039;contemporary imitations.&#039;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
