<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4094702, member: 19463"]Anyone join me in doubting whether the author of this article knows the difference between Constantine and his father Constantius? The photos look like larger folles and certainly Constantine had some ones but the one close up photo is a Constantius and coins never put in circulation would strike me as more likely Maximianus and his Caesar. Yes it will take a while to study so many coins but I would be first interested in hearing how many different mints were represented. If the coins were all made in the same place at the same time, this could suggest the form of 'mint sacks' in that time. I hope they counted each pot full. It would be interesting to know if each contained exactly the same number. </p><p><img src="https://cdn.buzznick.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/roman_coins_10.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
