<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2193114, member: 19463&quot;]Cities in the Roman provinces like Thrace were allowed to produce bronze coins for local circulation.&nbsp; Almost all showed the current emperor on the obverse and a reverse type selected by the town.&nbsp; Some, like Hadrianopolis, had very many designs. Some may have shown a statue on display in the city museum or a god that was special to locals for some reason we do not always understand.&nbsp; Relatively few were made and fewer survive so the coin can be called rare in the sense that there may only be a hundred of them still around but there are so many types that there are not that many people fighting over them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
