<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Magnus Maximus, post: 2276050, member: 73473&quot;]Not really. While it is true that Silver coinage never reached the levels of the Early Roman Empire, silver coinage was very common. You do have a point though, most silver coins in Late antiquity are thinner and smaller than coins found in Republican Rome. This is due to the empire being on a gold standard and the lack of new sources of Silver by the mid 4th century( Hispania and Dacia&nbsp; had been milked dry by the 300&#039;s)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
