<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 5276272, member: 86498&quot;]Lately as I have been communicating with Valentinian I have been re examining some of my argentei. I remember when these coins were very rare and whenever I would see one in a catalogue put out by one of the more elite auction houses I always wished I had enough money to purchase one of these coins. Since then their value has plummeted and now I own&nbsp; a number. This one is kind of special. In RIC it is listed as being from the mint of Carthage though more recent scholarship has challenged that assumption and&nbsp; placed it at the mint of Rome. The other is the more unusual&nbsp; reverse. It has been clearly marked that this coin is 1/96 of a Roman pound. Diocletian Ar Argenteus Rome 300 AD Obv Head right laureate Rv wreath.
