[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 8563335, member: 110226"]Annexation is indeed in the news these days..... This is a very interesting challenge, one that actually made me think, which I am not terribly accustomed to do, but here is what I think might qualify as a coin associated with an annexation. It is Roman, and since the Romans made a specialty of annexing other people's lands, it is probably not a terribly unusual one. [B]Trajan, tetradrachm, Bosra, 112-114 AD. 11.11 grams[/B] [B] [ATTACH=full]1510909[/ATTACH] [/B] Here's an excerpt from a webpage on the city of Bosra: "The Nabateans however, soon gave way to another dominant culture — the Romans. Originally, the Nabateans were Roman clients, but in 106AD, Cornelius Palma seized direct control of Syria in the name of Emperor Trajan and Rome. Palma declared the region Provincia Arabia: the Roman province of Arabia. The Romans immediately annexed Bosra and renamed Nova Trajana Bostra. The city was quite a prize. Its strategic position on the Syrian road system made it the perfect home for a Roman garrison. Very quickly, the Roman authorities installed 5000 legionnaires in a camp outside the northern gate of Bosra and in 106 AD the city became the Roman capital of the new province."
