<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor_Clark, post: 2646629, member: 10613&quot;]there have been a few circumstances where Roman coins were reintroduced into circulation. I will quote from another post-</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;From the article by&nbsp; Arthur E. Robinson,&nbsp; “False and Imitation Roman Coins,” <i>The Journal of Antiquarian Association of the British Isles</i> 2, no. 3 (1931) : 102.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>In 1916, Robinson was in the Sudan, and his &quot;Nubian&quot; servant brought him some small coins which still circulated west of the Nile. An assortment of the coins consisted of--</p><p><br /></p><p>Ptolemaic (2 specimens), BM cat. 106, 32-5; Svoronos 1426.</p><p>Hadrian (Alex.) BM cat. 346, 21; Dattari 6299.</p><p>Probus (Alex.)
