<p>[QUOTE="seth77, post: 8337779, member: 56653"]When local coinage stops could also provide some insight into why it stops. For instance in the Danube provinces and the Balkan area it stops with the Gothic invasions of the late 240s, when many issuing cities that have continued their Greek tradition of issuing local AEs were either utterly destroyed or impoverished to the point of destitution. In certain places in Asia Minor and the general East like Smyrna, Cyzicus, Sagalassos or some other places in Pisidia or Pamphylia local coinage goes as far into the 3rd century as Claudius II Gothicus and Aurelian. When these stop it might have to do with two things - the Palmyrene Empire revolting against Aurelian and Aurelian's reformation of the Imperial coinage. The last local coinage stops at Alexandria in 294, again due to the general reformation of the monetary system under Diocletian.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
