<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zadie, post: 8145859, member: 114699&quot;]Thank you all for your kind words. I&#039;m very happy to see that others find these coins as interesting as I do!!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There are a bunch of differing types in the promagesterial series. Mainly because:</p><p><br /></p><ul> <li>A governor would usually command his province for at least 1 year (longer if he was prorogued by the senate, as was common in the late 50&#039;s).</li> <li>There were five mints in Asia striking promagesterial cistophori at this time: Pergamum, Ephesos, Tralles, Laodicea and Apamea (Laodicea and Apamea were subsequently transferred to the province of Cilicia in 57 but kept striking promagesterial coins).&nbsp; </li> <li>Each mint had a supervising magistrate that served a term of approximately 6 months each.</li> </ul><p>The abundance of different types has contributed to the relative rarity of pretty much every single issue in the series. Most of the coins I&#039;ve shown in this thread are types that I know less than 10 other examples of.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting! I&#039;m not at all as familiar with these issues as I am with my focus area but definitely something I want to read up on.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Great to hear!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
