[QUOTE="Herodotus, post: 7408499, member: 111387"]Of worthy note... AE provincial coinage was primarily intended for use in the area and in close proximity to where they were minted. A traveler arrived to town with Imperial(or Provincial) silver(AR) and was given change in local bronze(AE). Would a tavern in Rome accept an AE25 from Antioch as legal tender in place of an Imperial As? I suppose it might 'fly' so-to-speak, but as a general rule; it is likely that most provincial AE coinage remained in the region where it was born. So, in theory; Roman provincial AE coinage may or may not have had the same denominational structure as its Imperial counterparts. I'm not aware of the Romans having a universal provincial coin standard like the Attic and Corinthian standard systems of earlier Greek coinage.[/QUOTE]
