<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2257594, member: 44316&quot;]There is a book on the Roman coins of the quinarius denomination</p><p>&quot;Roman Quinarii From the Republic to Diocletian and the Tetrarchy&quot; by Cathy King. It is thick at 436 pages with 37 plates of life-sized coins plus 17 plates of enlargements.</p><p>&nbsp; It has everything, including hoards, weight standards, the role in circulation, each for each time period, plus a complete list of types.</p><p>&nbsp; She gives a table of finds with location of the find, the number of coins in the find, and the number of quinarii. Archaeological site after site with at least one quinarius usually has just one, even if it is 80 or 200 or 1000 coins in total . She lists maybe 200 recorded sites with at least one Republican quinarius and the great majority have only one and most of the exceptions have only two quinarii. </p><p>&nbsp;Nevertheless, some Republican quinarii are deemed very common in Crawford. That is because hoards sometimes have big numbers. King discusses some big hoards (Cosa, etc.) and one had 446 specimens of the C. Egnatuleius type Alegandron posted, another had 87, etc.:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/alegandron-had-a-slam-dance.268286/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/alegandron-had-a-slam-dance.268286/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/alegandron-had-a-slam-dance.268286/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Here is my example of the&nbsp; same type:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]447715[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>15 mm. 1.85 grams.&nbsp; Sear 213.
