Provinces on Roman Coins
Back to RNG Mainpage

The "frequent traveller" emperor Hadrian minted two popular series of aurei / denari (also less common AE denominations) that name the provinces he travelled to (e.g. AEGYPTOS, or  "RESTITUTORI GALLIAE", "ADVENT ...").
Other emperors minted such coins less frequently, and to individual provinces only, e.g. point to either their home province, or military successes during their reign.
