It simply means that the coins found with the VAR countermark are no longer considered to be from Varus. I thought that was common knowledge? The VAR countermark, as I understood it, is no longer claimed to mean 'Varus', and therefore it is no longer correct to say that we know for a fact that all the coins found at the Kalkriese site date from up to AD 9 and not later.
If this is incorrect, please let me know.
