When Carausius
settled in Britain in 286 the Roman currency was in a degenerate state, made up
almost exclusively of base-metal issues; he saw an opportunity to use the
platform of coinage as a means to present himself, his regime and his new
ideology for the breakaway 'British Empire', and gold and silver issues superior
to those made by the legitimate empire were the principal manifestation of his
traditional standards and virtues.
