[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 2110358, member: 42773"]The line is a bit blurry, but if a coin has Greek legends that refer directly to the Roman rulers, I would call it a Roman provincial. Earlier coins with Paleo-Hebrew inscriptions referring to Judaean rulers are simply Judaean in my mind, even when Rome considered Judaea a vassal kingdom. By the same token, Rome considered Nabataea a vassal kingdom, yet no Nabataean coinage ever references Rome or Roman rulers. Only after Nabataea was annexed by Trajan do we get the official Roman coinage of [I]Provincia Arabia[/I].[/QUOTE]
