Romano-British Empire, Allectus, Summer 293 - 296 A.D.
|Allectus|, |Romano-British| |Empire,| |Allectus,| |Summer| |293| |-| |296| |A.D.|, In The British Usurpers Carausius & Allectus, P.J. Casey writes, "It should be observed the employment of mintmarks and control symbols in a rational and systematic manner is an innovation of the coinage of Carausius which was subsequently adopted throughout the Roman coinage. Why it was felt necessary to introduce such a radical system of record is not known: if, as will be argued, Allectus was the finance minister of the Carausian administration, it is to him that this innovation should be credited."
