<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nefarius Purpus, post: 10350475, member: 116505&quot;]Several posts have mentioned &#039;barbarous&#039; gold. Of course these can be called that, as they are certainly unlike the beautiful Roman aurei we all admire and wish we could afford. But apart from the term being a somewhat perjorative term, they are not very similar to any other known &#039;barbarous&#039; coins we know of, especially in weight, being mostly thick objects &gt; 10 g and up to 22 g in one case. So categorizing them with all those others may be misleading and hide their significance. Unless some of you know of other big heavy cast objects like this?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
