<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 3902615, member: 72790&quot;]The accompanying article, of course, got it wrong about the denarii of the late First and the Second Century AD being pure silver. From the mid period of the reign of Nero the coins were of about 90% and on downward (except for some early denarii of Domitian which were above the 90% pure mark). Perhaps in comparing them to Third Century coinage the author meant say solid silver as opposed to heavily debased or washed silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
