<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 7929948, member: 110350"]As long as we're talking about mints, I have seen a number of Roman Imperial coins ascribed to the Cologne mint in more recent sources. But Cologne doesn't seem to appear on the lists of Roman Imperial mints that I've seen. Can anyone please explain? Is this a recent attribution?</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the other question, I have no particular expertise, but assume as a rule of thumb that coins with Greek rather than Latin inscriptions are always Provincial, and that coins with Latin inscriptions are always Imperial, regardless of where they were minted, unless the place of minting had the status of a Colonia -- in which case they're usually classified as Provincial, although some, like the COL NEM dupondius of Augustus and Agrippa, have been classified under both categories.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
