<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dltsrq, post: 7886333, member: 75482&quot;]No need to over-think this, in my opinion. The &#039;barbarous radiates&#039; were the product of numerous illicit mints and were widely distributed throughout the old Gallic Empire. That a few should be found a 100 miles or so beyond the Rhine in a place that had been an important Roman outpost for some 150 years just prior, ought to come as no surprise. If it turns out that they were actually manufactured in Echzell, what better location for an illicit mint than a Romanized area just beyond the reach of Roman authorities? The term &quot;inflation money&quot; is odd and perhaps a bit misleading. I take it to be a reference to what we would call &#039;minimi&#039;, the smaller class of radiate imitations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
