<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 8343321, member: 72790&quot;]I am not that much interested in coinage of the late Roman Empire, but the siliquae of that period are pretty attractive coins and some of the earlier ones were of the weight and fineness of First Century AD denarii. Handsome coins, these siliquae. I have a few of these below. I don&#039;t know if there is anything unusual about them. I never paid any attention to the &quot;dots&quot; mentioned above. If anyone more familiar with these coins notices anything notable about any of them please tell me. Thanks</p><p><br /></p><p>From&nbsp; top left, a &quot;heavy&quot; siliqua of Constantius II, weighing 3.39 g. No dots but there seems to be a tiny C.B. at the bottom, whatever that might mean or stand for. Sear 3936.&nbsp; Next is siliqua of Julian II, weighing 2.6 g. Sear 4071. Third up is one of Valentinian at 1.8 g, Sear 4097. Bottom left, a coin of Valens, Sear 4112 at 2.1 g F Fifth up is a later siliqua of Honorius and by that time the siliqua was close to 1 gram in weight. This one is 1.2 g and is CRS 826. Lastly is a very well clipped one of Honorius , actually a pretty good image but weighing only .8 grams and is Sear 4150. I think his silver is found more clipped than not.

If I have an error or interesting fact I missed please feel free to mention it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
