<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2020671, member: 19463&quot;]This quinarius brings to mind the old, pre-denarius denomination the Victoriatus.&nbsp; These were smaller than denarii and larger than quinarii.&nbsp; The legend in exergue is ROMA rather than a moneyer name as on the OP coin.</p><p>The victoriatus was intended as an equivalent to the Greek drachma or about 3/4 of the denarius but the fact that OP coin used the exact type was used on a quinarius gives weight to the theory that worn victoriati probably traded at a half.&nbsp; Most I&#039;ve seen are not particularly good looking in terms of style or metal compared to the denarii of the first period.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]365674[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
