<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor_Clark, post: 5297385, member: 10613&quot;]You have coins from different issues. At various times, coins were struck at different standards.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a chart from Harl&#039;s &quot;Coinage in the Roman Economy&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1223021[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So, for the first example in the chart 32 coins were struck from a pound. You might get weight variation in each coin though. The weight in the chart is optimum, but you can always find heavy examples and light examples. Next is 40 to a pound and so on. As more coins were struck from a pound, the flans become smaller-- AE1- AE4. AE1 is the largest and AE4&#039;s are the smallest on the chart, no surprise as, for the last couple shown, you can see that 196 coins were struck from a pound.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
