<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 1604463, member: 9204&quot;]These are all contemporary imitations of Roman bronze coins. The final two with the radiate crowns are imitating Tetricus and his son. The others are copying Constantinian bronzes. These are NOT CELTIC. They are in no way related to the Celts. Find spots indicate that they were struck within the boundaries of the empire. The 4th century imitations of the types you have were produced in Britain and Gaul, while the copies of the late 3rd century were produced primarily in Gaul, though they circulated quite widely in Britain.</p><p><br /></p><p>Properly, &quot;limes&quot; coins refer to a specific class of cast imitations of 2nd century bronze coins found along the Rhine border. The term &quot;Limes denarius,&quot; referring to struck bronze copies of the silver denarius, is a fabrication of modern collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT: the first coin is official, as Medoraman said. For more examples, check in my gallery under &#039;Imitations.&#039; I&#039;ve only completed proper cataloging for the Severan and earlier issues, unfortunately.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
