<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nicholasz219, post: 4847447, member: 75641&quot;]There is a significant amount of discussion that in some cases at least, cities may share a traveling celator or workshop.&nbsp; Dies or coinage could have also been produced by the same person working out of a central location.&nbsp; In the case of Antioch and Pisidia, two Latin towns in close proximity to one another, the similarity in subject matter, coin fabric and engraving styles are probably not just coincidences.&nbsp; It is suspected that towns in Moesia Inferior did the same thing because you see coinage from Markianopolis and smaller satellite towns sharing coin types that except for the town names on the reverse are largely identical.&nbsp;&nbsp; I think that the evidence points to small groups of towns banding together in economic union to share a celator and possibly minting facilities with the larger cities producing a proportionally larger share of the coinage.&nbsp; Markianopolis and the towns along the Black Sea coast such as Tomis seemed to use coinage of similar value as well so quite possibly the coinage of other towns may have circulated freely throughout the area.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
