Romano-Gallic Empire, Tetricus I, Mid 271 - Spring 274 A.D., Barbaric Imitative
|Tetricus| |I|, |Romano-Gallic| |Empire,| |Tetricus| |I,| |Mid| |271| |-| |Spring| |274| |A.D.,| |Barbaric| |Imitative|, During the Crisis of the Third Century (235 - 284 A.D.), the Roman Empire nearly collapsed under the combined pressures of invasion, civil war, plague, and economic depression. In the western provinces, official mints did not meet the needs for low-value coinage and unofficial private mints struck imitations of Roman coins (usually antoniniani). These unofficial imitations, called barbarous radiates today, were not counterfeits. They were smaller than standard issues, were not intended to deceive, and probably only functioned as small change. The most frequently imitated prototypes are of the Gallic emperors Tetricus I and his son, Tetricus II.
