<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 4698959, member: 110350"]This is exactly what I've always assumed -- that Roman medallions were not intended as currency. just as there has been the same distinction between commemorative medals/medallions and actual coins in modern times, i.e., since the 1500's. (When reading 18th century and even early 19th century numismatic literature in English, one has to get used to the fact that all Roman coins were often referred to as medals or medallions.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
