It's the weekly Thursday Market today and I have returned with a few new coins. Identified all but 2, these I will put in separate posts. This 'Fouree' is my favourite out of the group.
It looks like a young Caracalla denarius. I do not like the texture it shows. It can be an ancient counterfeit? Are those flaws near the forehead showing base metal?
Septimius was always at his 'wits' end trying to pay off the troops and keep them happy ! Thus the reductions in weight as well as purity during his reign And when stocks run out ? Cheat ! Fourree's galore And not a few 'Limes' denarii I have had more than a few of the later .
