<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 7932513, member: 87200&quot;]Good question. The provincial issues ended by the time of Claudius II, however the potin tetradrachms of Alexandria continued to be issued down to the tetrarchy until Diocletian reformed the coinage and Imperial issues began circulating in Egypt. Prior to this Egypt was a closed economy where only Alexandrian coins were legal tender. One theory on the demise of the provincial bronze coinage is that once it was worth more than a debased antoninianus it made no sense to issue them anymore.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
