<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 6475655, member: 86498"]Yes it is a very interesting thread. However I do believe there are a number a factors that might not have been adequately expressed thus far. The first is that the early Severans did not produce an aes coinage in any quantity. True to some degree this deficiency was corrected by Severus Alexander but I do believe that there was a need to produce more denarii. The second is a situation created by modern slabbing. The dies during this period appear to have been rotated out and not used to extinction as is more common during later periods. This is particularly true of reverse dies. Thus it is somewhat easier to get an AU grade for coins during this period. </p><p>Caracalla Ar Denarius Rome 205 AD Obv Bust right laureate draped and cuirassed seen from back Rv Mars standing left.
