<p>[QUOTE="zumbly, post: 3554668, member: 57495"]When the Romans conquered Macedon, they divided it into four administrative districts (<i>merides</i>). The First Meris with its mint at Amphipolis struck a large issue of silver tetradrachms. The same type was also struck in the name of the people of the Second Meris, but these are very very rare. The Fourth Meris issued a small run of bronzes. No coins from the Third Meris have been found - maybe they were too cool to use money?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
