Among the coins which have been examined there are 110 

 (and doubtless there are many more among the rest) which 

 must have come from the mint in an imperfect state, some 

 of them having either no heads or no reverses; some having 

 a reverse on both sides ; some twice struck, either with the 

 head of the same prince, or with the head of one prince on 

 a coin previously bearing that of another. A large number 

 (4,767 on the whole, most of them, apparently, of the com- 

 moner sorts) have been laid aside, as too much defaced to 

 be capable of any satisfactory identification. In Plate V., 

 two specimens of the coins of Carausius, one of Tacitus, and 

 one of Diocletian, are engraved. 



With respect to the condition of these coins, it is worth 

 observation that those of Valerian, Gallienus, Salonina, Claudius, 

 Victorinus, the two Tetrici, and Carausius, are generally the 

 most worn and defaced a fact which as to those of Carausius 

 (almost the latest in the whole series) seems remarkable. All 

 the imperial coins of later date than Aurelian (as also those of 

 Severina, and many of Aurelian himself), and all the coins of 

 Allectus, are comparatively unworn and in fine condition, 

 except when (as has happened in a few cases) they have 

 sustained accidental damage, from excessive oxidation or 

 adhesion while underground, or in the processes of separation 

 3 Some coins of Quintillus may be among the uncleaned coins of Claudius.
