Abstract:
The silver content within the body and at the surface of 22 Roman "bronze" coins dating to AD 274-305 was determined by X-ray fluorescence; results indicate that antoniniani and fractional coins of the period 274-294 were probably both silver-dipped and minted in an argentiferous alloy. Radiate and laureate fractions issued after 295 do not seem to have had an argentiferous alloy, nor does this analysis provide any evidence that they were silver-dipped. Au(abr)
