Could the Rome mint have been "operated" under the table or even by non-official people?  Fake coins using real material?
I mean if I was an unemployed mint master with material and actual tools, I could crank out coinage keep myself in the wine and bread.

Thanks guys

18mm, 3.1g

17mm, 3.5g

Your thoughts are appreciated.
