Roman
Provincials
Roman Provincials are
sometimes also called Greek Imperials. Coins in this category were minted
during the time of the Roman Empire, but from mints outside the Imperial
charters. This coinage was meant to circulate locally to fulfill the needs
of daily business throughout the vast empire. Provincials are really
fascinating as they had a great deal of leeway to produce something meaningful
to their particular area. Most times, the coins will have Greek
inscriptions, but some areas used Latin legends as well or mixed them together.
