A fair number of silver argentii of Diocletian and Maximianus are found in Hungary and Romania. They are struck in good silver and are probably not products of counterfeits, but of a temporary or military mint. This issue is perhaps tied to military campaigns of Diocletian against the Carpi and Sarmatians in the late 290's AD, with a temporary military mint striking silver argentii to pay the troops.
