| Aanvullende informatie |
Gold imitations of Roman aurei circulated widely across the Indian subcontinent during the first three centuries AD, produced by local workshops responding to Roman trade demand rather than any centralized monetary authority. The Roman-Indian trade network — documented in the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea — funneled enormous quantities of genuine aurei eastward in exchange for pepper, textiles, and spices, and Indian craftsmen reproduced the coinage closely enough for use in commercial transactions where bullion weight mattered more than imperial legitimacy.
The weight of this piece, at 6.97g, sits within the typical range for locally struck imitations, which often varied slightly from the Roman standard of roughly 7.27g — the difference almost certainly absorbed as profit by the issuing workshop.
