<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1129663, member: 5739&quot;]Provincial coinage I think you would call it....they struck Drachmai as well as Didrachmai, Tetradrachmai and even Tridrachmai in some cases, usually for use in the region where they were struck, or possibly to pay troops stationed there.... Most of these coins were struck in Greek, and many portrayed Greek Gods and Goddesses on the reverse, along with symbols of the power of Rome... most people know of the Tetradrachmai of Antioch, but Caesarea, Cappadocia struck Drachms and Didrachms for several rulers, the Severans included..... they tended to have Mount Argaeus on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nice young portrait of Caracalla Ripley. IMPERII FELICITAS, I think is the reverse of yours &#039;The Happiness of the Emperor(s)&#039; Pretty cool.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
