<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 7652047, member: 110350"]Thanks to all of you for the fascinating coins you've posted. I really knew nothing at all about Roman Provincial coins from Spain -- and certainly never heard of Turiaso or any of the other cities mentioned in this thread -- until I first saw this coin and did some research on it before buying it. As always, it was the distinctive look of the coin that first drew my interest, not anything else. Really quite similar to the Augustus coins posted by [USER=57495]@zumbly[/USER], even though they were minted in a different city. Is there any similarity or carryover in the look from pre-Roman coins minted in Iberia?</p><p><br /></p><p>In any event, I would think that since Roman Provincial coins in Hispania were minted only under Augustus, Tiberius, and Caligula, and the number of different mints doesn't seem to be huge, one could amass a fairly comprehensive collection without enormous expense if one were so inclined. Something obviously not true of most Roman Provincial coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
