Summary
Archaeological evidence from the Territorium Gerundensis reveals distinct typologies of imitated Roman coins during the Late Imperial period, offering new insights into their economic implications. The study challenges conventional definitions of imitation coinage by analyzing its nature and impact, supported by stratified archaeological data. Chronological frameworks for these typologies are proposed based on contextual findings, suggesting that counterfeit currency may have played a more significant role in local economies than previously understood.
