Money Talks: Barbarian Imitations and Copies of Roman Imperial Denarii

with Arkadiusz Dymowski (Independent Researcher, Poland) and Kyrylo Myzgin (University of Warsaw, Poland)

These fakes, mostly produced in Eastern Europe, were often used in international exchange but also played a role among the barbarians. This Money Talk will focus on the chronology, typology, and production techniques of both the imitations and copies of Roman denarii.
