<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 2333434, member: 51347&quot;]My assumptions also... However, as my two above postings show, the Republic apparently allowed parallel mints with their Allies.&nbsp; Perhaps they began consolidating their Italic Empire (remember the Samnites were a tough adversary) several years later.&nbsp; Romans typically wrote separate and distinct treaties with those tribes and states that they conquered.&nbsp; That was part of Rome&#039;s genius in creating an Empire.&nbsp; Italy may had not been truly consolidated and issues resolved until AFTER the Socii War, 90-88 BCE.&nbsp; I am still in &quot;search and destroy&quot; mode researching Allied Coinage.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Perhaps others may post what they know?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
