<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 7932601, member: 87200&quot;]I should add that the demise of the provincial coinage sounded the death knell for municipal elites who struck the provincial coins and typically paid for upkeep in the cities, such as gymnasia, baths, public squares, and so on. There was a robust civic life in the Hellenized cities of the east which collapsed with the demise of the coinage. The urban elites were bankrupted by inflation and the flood of millions of nearly worthless antoniniani.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
