<p>[QUOTE=&quot;THCoins, post: 3175801, member: 57364&quot;]This is what the ANS has to say about &quot;Ethnic&quot; (<a href="http://numismatics.org/seminar/termsmethods/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/seminar/termsmethods/" rel="nofollow">http://numismatics.org/seminar/termsmethods/</a>):</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Introduction to Numismatic Terms and Methods</b></p><p><br /></p><p>The <i>ethnic</i> may or may not be present. The term originates in Greek and is most commonly encountered with reference to Greek coins. It refers to the name of a tribe, nation, or city-state responsible for issuing a coin. ΑΘΕ (&quot;Athens&quot;) and ΣΥΡΑΚΟΣΙΩΝ (&quot;of the Syracusans&quot;) are ethnics; the only ethnics employed on Roman coins are ROMANO (on early AR and AE and ROMA (on Republican silver and aes). When the entire legend consists of an ethnic, the terms are synonymous. The term ethnic is used seldom if at all in other fields.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
