<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancientone, post: 2550780, member: 71599&quot;]Mostly in the second and third centuries AD, the Roman regions of Thrace and Asia minor minted alliance or <i>homonoia</i> coinage. These coins celebrated the union by placing the deity most associated with their cities on the reverse. Other types looked similar to provincial pseudo-autonomous coins. These are repeats from me but feel free to post any you have in your collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]547921[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Ionia, Smyrna. Marcus Aurelius AE32.
