<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 7840286, member: 97383&quot;]Dirk, You&#039;re assuming that this barbarous siliqua was minted during the reign of Honorius, &amp; that is not necessarily the case. In fact this coin could have been minted many decades after the death of Honorius, &amp; copied from coins still circulating in northern Italy, Gaul, &amp; Germania, or as you suggest Britain. The obverse of this coin looks as good as a mint product from any number of branch mints from the 5th century, however, the reverse is without question barbaric. This coin compares well with the barbarous solidus I&#039;ve posted a number of times &amp; is posted again below. The reverse on my solidus is as good as a product from the Constantinople Mint, but the obverse is clearly barbarous. Again, this coin could have been minted long after Zeno died. So the only safe attribution for these coins is <b>&quot;Uncertain Germanic&quot;<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
