<p>[QUOTE=&quot;savitale, post: 3730760, member: 95284&quot;]Forgive me if this is a naive question, but how does one determine if a coin is &quot;Roman Imperial&quot; vs a &quot;Roman Provincial&quot; issue? I understand that &quot;<b>Roman provincial currency</b> was <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin" rel="nofollow">coinage</a> minted within the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Empire" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Empire" rel="nofollow">Roman Empire</a> by local civic rather than imperial authorities.&quot; (Wikipedia) That doesn&#039;t really help me much, since I don&#039;t know how to tell on a given coin whether the issuer was a local or imperial authority. Other sources say imperial coins used the Roman denominations whereas provincial coins used other denominations. That doesn&#039;t seem wholly satisfying either, since I see denarii that are categorized as Roman Provincial.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
