<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3509968, member: 19463&quot;]I look at works that separate and report things like silver content or weight as an overall average for a long reign with skepticism.&nbsp; Commodus&#039; denarii were looking pretty bad toward the end.&nbsp; Septimius&#039; went up and down and varied by mint.&nbsp; Also, I doubt Septimius&#039; coins were what made the soldiers like or dislike him.&nbsp;&nbsp; Their pay was not their only profit from being his troops.&nbsp; I suspect a soldier under Septimius was better off overall than one under Commodus and we don&#039;t even need to compare them to the army that supported Pescennius.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
