    If I were to add on to the world coin set by adding each Province that ancient Rome minted a coin for, what would the list be?

    right now I have:

    Egypt (Alexandria)
    Antioch
    Gaul
    Britain (?)
    Thrace
    Ceaseria
    Hadrianopolis
    deultum (?)
    Philippopolis
    Mysia
    Laodikea
    Marcianapolis
    Petra
    Berytus (?)
    Cappadocia

    You're naming cities, not provinces. Also take into account that provinces changed. I can't seem to find a good list at the moment, I'll get back to you.

    The list would be longer than both your arms and next to impossible to fill if you count 'Provinces' as cities as you list. For example, Thrace on your list is a province including (from your list) the cities of Hadrianopolis, Philippopolis, Deultum and a dozen cities you don't list. This might help:

    In truth, even one coin per province would be very hard and you would be leaving out many very interesting cities just because you already have a coin from another city in that same province.

    I'd certainly agree with adding selected provincials but it is not a good 'one per' list due to its complexity.
