<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carthago, post: 2394383, member: 76111&quot;]I&#039;m not positive there is a defining line Steve as I see coins move from one category to another depending on seller and, especially, who minted the coin and who might be on it.&nbsp; For instance, the Tetradrachm of Antony and Octavia I posted above can be found in either the Provincial listings of sellers or Republic or Imperatorial.&nbsp; I think I see them more often in the the Republic/Imperatorial because Marc Antony&#039;s portrait is on it, but I would consider this coin a Provincial issue.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I consider a Roman coin to be Provincial first and foremost when it is struck to a local currency standard, such as my Tetradrachm.&nbsp; While it does mix some local imagery on the reverse, all of the legends are in Latin using strictly Roman terms with the picture of a Triumvir on the obverse with his wife which makes it very Roman in design.&nbsp; Still, it&#039;s in a foreign monetary standard which would only be produced in the Provinces, and thus, is Provincial in my mind.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m always learning and could be off on it, but that is my defining line.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
