Curtis Clay about a similar coin of Julia Mamaea: "The soft contours of the devices and the low weight suggest that this is an ancient cast. Such casts of sestertii, commonly found in Austria and Hungary, were the coins for which G. Elmer invented the term "limesfalsa", which is now usually applied to ancient casts of denarii." www.arminius-numismatics.com |
