<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orielensis, post: 3198620, member: 96898&quot;]This summer, when I was visiting the Landesmuseum in Hannover, Germany, I saw that they have a small hoard of 78 Roman silver coins on display. Looking at my pictures (see below), I think I can make out coins ranging from a Vespasian (?) denarius to a Julian II siliqua. Most coins are from the 2nd century. Also, it is quite fascinating that there are apparently no strongly debased denarii or antoniniani present in the hoard. The museum dates the hoard to the 4th or 5th century; it was found in Laatzen, Lower Saxony.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since the coins in this hoard are from an impressively long time span of almost 300 years, I was asking myself how long Roman Imperial denarii actually circulated, and whether they continued to be used systematically as regular currency after the 4th century monetary reforms. Does anyone perhaps know more about this? Do you have literature suggestions or did you maybe encounter similar things?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]827324[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]827325[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
