[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 7933826, member: 19463"]This has been a very interesting thread. I have not considered the coins of client kings or the things of uncertain status (Anonymous Pagan, Festival) to be Provincials.

The Bosporos kings are not Roman Provincials but coins of a foreign king serving perhaps as a puppet or ally but not just a magistrate/governor. This is just a matter of opinion.
