<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 3961469, member: 51347&quot;]I am fascinated by Limes.&nbsp; I understand that they are not completely known, but I am in the camp that they were Emergency Monies or Script of the Legions in hotly contested zones or borders of the Empire.&nbsp; If overrun / defeated, the Empire would not lose huge caches of precious metals (AR and AV).&nbsp; Rather, AE was struck into Denarii for use in these zones as token money.&nbsp; Similar to our Military Script used by the military in Hot Zones today, or by Allies / Axis nations during WWII, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>My thoughts.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1043486[/ATTACH]</p><p>RI Hadrian, AD 117-138 <b>Æ Limes Denarius</b> 18mm 3.5mm after AD 125 Genius stndg sacrificing altar cornucopia RIC II 173[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
