JayAg47 Posted July 9 · Member Share Posted July 9 Some of my late Roman silver, they definitely hit different from the earlier denarii. Argentii of Maximian and Diocletian, the silique include a Gratian, a broken Valens, and a Julian. 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The remaining coin is also bent and cracked. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentinian Posted July 10 · Member Share Posted July 10 I have an educational webpage on late Roman silver: http://augustuscoins.com/ed/siliqua/siliqua.html One of my favorites on that page is a FEL TEMP REPARATIO in silver Constantius II, struck c. 347 20-19 mm. 2.96 grams. Siliqua. FL IVL CONSTANTIVS PF AVG FEL TEMP REPARATIO (a legend very common on copper) Victory standing right inscribing VOT/XX on shield held up by a captive R in exergue. RIC Rome 59 The page is, again, http://augustuscoins.com/ed/siliqua/siliqua.html Late Roman silver is complicated, not at all like the simple denarius system of the Republic and early empire. I can't say that page makes the late Roman silver system clear, but it tries! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
