[QUOTE="nicholasz219, post: 4524281, member: 75641"]Sydenham notes that it may have been that Caesarea was used as a regional mint, striking coins for most of Asia Minor from Tiberius to Gordian III. Bronze issues are struck in inverse proportion to silver in general. Beginning with Antoninus Pius and continuing through the Severan dynasty there is a marked increase in the issuance of bronze and a corresponding decrease in silver coinage. Sydenham theorizes that since the Caesarean drachm was equal in value to the denarius that the bronze minor coinage would bear relationships to the drachm similar to bronze coinage of the empire to the denarius. As a drachm consisted of 48 chalkoi and a denarius 16 asses, 1 as would be equal to 3 chalkoi. Caesarean 26mm coins would be the rough equivalent of an as in the imperial system. For silver issues, the dates are sporadic for Septimius Severus and Julia Domna. Septimius, AR: 194 196 197 205 206 207 209 210 211 Septimius, AE: 194 195 203 205 206 Julia Domna, AR: 197 204 206 207 208 209 210 211 213 Julia Domna, AE: 196 205 206 It’s possible the coins were struck on an as needed basis? Not sure.
