<p>[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 4644082, member: 87200"]Great write-up and coins. I would argue that Anatolia and the Bosporus areas had long been Greek by the time the Roman Republic conquered these areas. So they struck their own bronze coinage (with Greek legends) down until the reign of Claudius Gothicus. Roman Egypt continued coinage with Greek legends until the time of Diocletian and Maximian. So when the West fell there was less need to continue to use the Latin tongue, though coins did have Latin inscriptions into the 7th century...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
