Notes:
The antoniniani of the late 3rd century, particularly those of the emperors Claudius Gothicus, Tetricus I and tetricus II, were frequently imitated in Gaul and Britain. Some of these copies are almost as good as the originals,but most are very crude productions with badly blundered legends and almost unrecognizable types. They are very often found in this country (Sear, page 268).
