ANCIENT LOTS. Roman Imperial. Lot of three (3) AE 'Limes' denarii and one (1) AR/AE fourée denarius. NGC VF-Choice VF, scratches. Includes: Three AE Limes denarii, and one fourée denarius, various rulers and types. Total of four (4) coins in lot. SOLD AS IS, NO RETURNS The so-called 'limes denarii' are bronze cast imitations of official Roman silver issues. There is some debate about their origin, but many think they may have been legitimate issues of the Roman state, struck from bronze in times of necessity to pay troops on the frontier (limes) where money was in short supply. Limes denarii are most frequently copies of Severan issues, as are the three here.
