Title: Re: Roman help 2 !!!!!!!!! Post by: James on January 27, 2009, 10:56:41 AM It could also look this way due to the fact that The "silver" coinage of the Empire reached its absolute low point during the reigns of Gallienus, valerian,Claudius II and Aurelian (pre-reform). They are of simple artistry, crudely struck on small, ragged planchets, and often appear to be merely copper (although they typically contain perhaps 2 percent silver aka billon).
