An imitation of a solidus of Anastasius was discovered at Kafir Kala, a site near Samarqand. Damage on the rim of the coin indicates that it was used not as currency but as an item of jewellery, and hence may be described as paranumismatic. Genuine solidi of Anastasius and other emperors from Central Asia are described and other imitations of solidi from the region are discussed.

Abstract
An imitation of a solidus of Anastasius was discovered at Kafir Kala, a site near Samarqand. Damage on the rim of the coin indicates that it was used not as currency but as an item of jewellery, and hence may be described as paranumismatic. Genuine solidi of Anastasius and other emperors from Central Asia are described and other imitations of solidi from the region are discussed.File in questo prodotto:
