<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 4214255, member: 98035&quot;]Its also worth noting that SC implies that the coin&#039;s face value exceeds its metal value, thus approval from the Senare (Senatus consultum) is required. This sometimes appeared on Republican denarii, and appears on all non-provincial bronze denominations from the time of Augustus until the final hurrah under Aurelian.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, while it would be amazing to have a Dupondius-sized gold coin, nearly all ancient gold coins are quite small - the Greek stater, Roman aureus, and their Eastern equivalents were all about 8g and usually about the size of a US dime. Only the Ptolemies and Bactrian Greeks made circulating gold coins larger and heavier than a stater.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
