There have always been cheats. These coins, badly damaged, have retained the shape of the bag that contained them.
During the restoration process in the laboratory it was found that what should be silver coins, in fact are made of copper coated with silver, which has led to the set being very poorly preserved. The only individual who has been identified is a coin of Emperor Constantius I (305-306 AD).
