<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Restitutor, post: 4517672, member: 112621&quot;]Following auctions for some time now and I always find it interesting how we seem to have far more gold coins hit for the later Roman period (300 CE and after) versus the Augustan-Antonine periods. </p><p><br /></p><p>As the empire was declining by the 300s onward, I would expect to see more bronze and silver from this period and less gold, and more gold in say, the time of Trajan. And yet we seem to have a surplus of, for example Theodosius II gold coins by comparison. </p><p><br /></p><p>Curious if anyone has found a satisfactory answer on this apparent dichotomy?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
