<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Multatuli, post: 2872938, member: 89266&quot;]The picture of the second coin is a little bit blundered, that makes the evaluation more difficult. However, the bust of the emperor is not bad, as the obverse legends. I agree that the Victories are kinda weird, but here also de legend don’t have a typical barbarous pattern.</p><p>I consider three possibilities:</p><p>1) An emission of Treveri (Trier), that really struck coins with a more rough appearance, but not barbarous, by the romans.</p><p>2) The coin was produced by an unofficial, but still roman mint (itinerant maybe?) on a period of shortage of money, to pay the legions in boundary’s zones, like the previous limes denarius.</p><p>3) In my opinion, the most improbable, a well-done barbarous emission, made by Germanic tribes already well-acculturated or adapted with the romans.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
