<p>[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 2910923, member: 87200"]One can almost chart the chaos/decline of the empire through the coinage of Valerian and Gallienus. At first, not too different from the coinage of T. Gallus in terms of style and quality of the silver and bronze, but then an amazing drop off as the coins became billon and eventually AE antoniniani. What happened to the standards at the mint?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
