<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2959209, member: 74282&quot;]One thing to keep in mind is that Roman coins developed out of the broader context of Italian coins. Many cities, some under Roman control, others not, had coins similar to contemporary Roman coins and even once these cities began to come under Roman control many were allowed to continue minting bronzes and the dating is still a subject of debate(the most up to date reference being Rutter&#039;s Historia Numorum Italy) so exactly where the cutoff is is hard to say and is different for each city. I personally refer to those coins that were definitely minted under Roman control as Roman Republic Provincials or in some cases Colonial issues(in the case of the Roman colonies) and the rest, some of which may have been minted under Roman control, as Italian issues.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
