<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 4783131, member: 44316&quot;]According to Sutherland, the ancient author Strabo and inscriptions attest that Lugdunum was the site of Augustus&#039;s chief mint for gold and silver. Rome handled copper and had been closed from c. 40 BC (in favor of imperatorial traveling mints) to c. 23 BC. There are several minor mints. Sutherland says the main precious-metal mint, Lugdunum, was transferred to Rome under Gaius (Caligula) and all the Rome coinage of Tiberius was <i>aes</i>. </p><p><br /></p><p>The arguments for these attributions are complicated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
