<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1539887, member: 5739&quot;]Thanks <u>doug</u> I don&#039;t think I have ANY provincials, unless you count coins like Drachmai and Didrachmai of Caesarea, Cappadocia, or Tetradrachmai of various places..... I have seen some true provincials that had amazing designs that I loved, but all were too pricey, that is a great example you have there. Interesting question about what exactly an As would buy you in AD 235.... and interesting theory about the Ases being more of presentation coinage than spendin&#039; money. Smart man. Thanks again.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, after recieving this coin and checking it out, comparing it with my SA sesterces and Ases and Dupondii of other Emperors and Empresses, I am <b>certain</b> it is an AE As. Thanks for the info on size and weight changes <u>dougsmit</u> and thanks to everyone else for their input. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
