The aim of the present article is to summarize the current state of research on the problem of inflow of Roman provincial coins struck in Balkan mints into Lesser Poland in Antiquity. The term “provincial coinage” as used here refers to coins from the mints producing coins for the purpose of provincial circulation, as well as to the so-called pseudo-autonomous and autonomous coinages struck in various local centres. To this time, 11 bronze coin finds produced in mints located in Dacia, Thrace, Moesia Superior and Macedonia have been registered in Lesser Poland. The chronological scope of this presentation is focused generally on the 3rd century AD; however, two coins come from the reigns of Augustus and Antoninus Pius.

Before World War II, some Roman coins discovered in Volhynia were added to the numismatic collection of the National Museum in Krakow (NMK). Some of them were donated by Dr Wacław Pancerzyński, a physician and a major in the Polish Army. He obtained the coins during his service in the Border Protection Corps in Mizocz in what was then Zdołbunowski poviat (today Mizoch, zdolbunivs’kii raion, rivnens’ka oblast’, Ukraine). The three coins, donated in 1927, were most likely part of a hoard of Roman denarii discovered that year in the vicinity of Mizocz. In turn, a bronze coin of Constantine the Great, type “Urbs Roma”, found in Buszcza (today Bushcha, zdolbunivs’kii rayon, rivnens’ka oblast’, Ukraine), entered the NMK collection in 1929. It remains to this day the only discovery of a Roman coin recorded in this town. Unfortunately, due to confusion and the loss of some archives during World War II, it is not possible to accurately identify the coins in the current NMK collection. The same holds true regarding the denarii of Trajan and Antoninus Pius found in another locality in Volhynia, Międzyrzecz Korecki (today Velyki Mezhyrychi, koretskyi raion, rivnens’ka oblast’, Ukraine), donated by Dr Stanisław Tomkowicz. This find is well known in the literature. Unfortunately, we do not know how the donor, an outstanding figure known for his work for the protection of monuments in Kraków and Western Galicia, came into possession of these coins

There are nine iconographic types reproduced on the coins of individual centers of Bithynia and Pontus during the reign of Trajan. These originate from Roman Imperial coins struck between 80-82 AD, in the Imperial branch mint located in Thrace or Bithynia. It could indicate a certain degree of integration or cooperation between cities. Is this a true thesis? In this period in Bithynia and Pontus, monetary policy may have depended on central intervention central intervention, rivalry between cities, trade, army, and cult.

The numismatic collection of the National Museum in Cracow contains a small group of coins from the Illyrian mints (Apollonia, Dyrrhachium, Heraclea in Illyria, and Scodra), including two bronze coins bearing the name of an Illyrian ruler — Ballaeus (probably ca. 250 BC). Both coins come from a mint located on the island of Pharus (present-day Hvar). According to a new typological classification (R. Ciołek), they would represent Type III.1. One of these coins came from a collection formerly owned by Karol Halama (1871–1948), a numismatist and coin collector from Żywiec (southern Poland). It was incorporated into the collection of the National Museum in Cracow along with K. Halama’s collection (comprising a total of 2,574 ancient coins of various kinds), which was donated in 1946. The other Illyrian coin was purchased, among some other ancient specimens, from a Cracow-based collector in 1978. Both coins have been subjected to an analysis of their chemical composition with the use of X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy.

The denominations of bronze coins remain one of the most problematic issues in Roman provincial coinage. Due to the different weights, sizes and iconographic types of coins, it is not possible to create one single monetary system corresponding to all provincial mints. For this reason, it seems that the best solution is to find common and repetitive tendencies for the smaller region, in this case the Asia province, taking into account a narrower period of time, like 96-138 AD. The same denominations could have been issued by centers located in close proximity to each other, which could indicate regional trends, common transactions or cooperations. Some iconographic types, such as portraits of members of the imperial family, were placed primarily on one type of denomination. This in turn indicates the presence of certain traditions in the monetary space, thanks to which perhaps the denominations of bronze coins are not as chaotic as it seems.

Roman provincial coins struck in the local centres of particular
regions, differed from the coins issued in Rome (the so-called imperial coinage). On the coins struck mainly in the Greek monetary system, images of the emperor and motives reflecting local cults and traditions were placed. It is believed that provincial coins were generally not modelled on imperial coins, although some similarities may be noted on the Bithynia and Pontus emissions of the Trajan period. Some of the portraits of the emperor placed on coins issued by local centres depicted characteristic features of portraits from imperial coins. This allows the time which they were struck to be determined more accurately. In turn, some of the images depicted on the reverse of coins from this period duplicate the earlier motives from the time of Domitian, placed on imperial issues struck between 80 and 82 in an unidentified mint, probably in Thrace.

The aim of the present article is to summarize a current state of research on the problem of inflow of Roman provincial coins into Lesser Poland in antiquity. The term "provincial coinage" as used here refers to coins from the mints producing coinages for the purpose of provincial circulation, as well as to the so-called pseudo-autonomous and autonomous coinages struck by various local mints. We consider coins produced in mints located in the Eastern part of the Roman Empire, beginning from Dacia and Moesia, and farther east and south to the provinces of Asia Minor, Syria, and Egypt as well as these struck by the rulers of the Bosporan Kingdom. The chronological scope of this presentation is defined by the final decades of the Roman Republic/the beginning of the Roman Empire and the Diocletian's reform (AD 294). We shall concentrate on the relevant finds of bronze coinage and the so-called billon coins. Only one brief paragraph is devoted to silver issues.

A direct successor of the oldest tradition of academic archaeology in Poland, the Institute of Archaeology of the Jagiellonian University ranks among the leading research centres with respect to studies on the influx of Roman coins into European Barbaricum. The interest in Roman coinage at the Jagiellonian University pre-dates archaeology and can be traced back to the 16th century and the professors of the Kraków
Academy (the name of the university at that time) Maciej of Miechów (1457–1523) and Stanisław Grzebski (1524–1570). In the 19th century, Roman coins discovered in the vicinity of Kraków attracted the interest
of Jerzy Samuel Bandtke (1768–1835). However, the time when this area of research enjoyed particular development falls to the last years before WWII and the post-war period. A significant role in this respect
was played by researchers either representing the JU Institute of Archaeology, like Professors Rudolf Jamka (1906–1972), Kazimierz Godłowski (1934–1995), and Piotr Kaczanowski (1944–2015), or those cooperating with the Institute like Professor Stefan Skowronek (1928–2019). Their activity laid the foundations for today’s research on the finds of Roman coins and their inflow into the territories of the Roman Period Barbaricum. Currently, this area of studies is within the focus of two of the departments of the Institute of Archaeology: the Department of Iron Age Archaeology and the Department of Classical Archaeology. The intensification of research on the inflow of Roman coins owes much to the Finds of Roman coins in Poland and lands connected historically with PL project, carried out in 2014–2018 under the leadership of Professor Aleksander Burshe, with important contributions provided by a group of scholars from the JU Institute of
Archaeology. Despite the conclusion of the project, studies on the inflow of Roman coins will continue.12345

The Province of Asia was one of the most important within the Roman Empire, divided into smaller administrative units called conventus. During the second century AD 14 conventus were distinguished. We register the largest amount of coins in conventus of Pergamum (25%) and Sardis (20%). A significant change in the monetary system of the province took place during the reign of the Flavians. One of the characteristic features of the bronze coinage of this period is the lack of marks of value (except Chios, Cyme, Rhodes, possibly Alexandria). Perhaps the main indicators of the value of coins were their diameter, weight and type of image. Reflecting the individual values can be used the issues from Chios, which had denomination names, but they are pseudo-autonomous coins, hence the precise chronology is problematic. With a more accurate comparison of the monetary system in the province, similarities between individual denominations and types can be noticed, but their diversity is still visible.

The period between 235 and 284 was one of the most turbulent periods in the history of the Roman Empire. It was a time of structural crisis in which several dozen emperors were brought to power. One of the best sources providing many important aspects, ideologies and programs of a emperor is numismatics. After the death of Aleksander Severus, Maximinus Thrax is raised to power, emphasizing militarism, power of Rome and a new Emperor, resigning from the types issued by his predecessor, and turning against the Roman senate and traditions. In 238 a new Emperors - Gordian I and Gordian II, during the short reign they return to the former ideological assumptions, thus emphasizing the return to stabilization of the Empire. However, it is difficult to talk about conscious propaganda ideas. Successive emperors - Pupienus and Balbinus, propagated a conscious but very general and cautious ideology to propitiate favour of the Roman people. The next emperor, Gordian III, did not have his own conscious program because of his young age and influence of family. Very general, thought out and necessary values were promoted during the crisis of the third century. Pointing to the times and political background, it is worth examining some ideological aspects that will characterize the policy of an emperors, as well as awareness of the implementation of these programs.

Coins of the East origin were registered on the territories of Europe. They were found in hoards of Roman coins from the Empire period. It is considered that Lycian, Pontic and Cappadocian drachma, similar to the Roman denarius with the size and the nominal value, coexisted in circulation of silver coins in the Roman Empire in the 2nd century. The
Lycian drachma was struck regularly from the reign of Domitian to the beginning of Trajan reign. During that time coins from Cappadocia were introduced to the monetary circulation. Pontic emissions functioned during the reign of Hadrian. These coins from the eastern
provenance were a part of the currency spreading into European territory. The examples of the finds of these coins confirm rapid economic market integration. The penetration of other
regions was probably connected with the development of trade. In hoards of Roman coins from Germany, Austria, Romania or Poland, i.e. from the territory of the Roman Empire and Barbaricum, there was a single drachma finds. The main purpose of the article is to investigate
possible ways of the inflow as well as the reasons and function of Lycian, Pontic and Cappadocian coins in the Roman Empire territory.

During the reign of Trajan (98-117 AD) in the province Bithynia and Pontus fourteen cities struck coins. Among registered exemplars for this region, researchers distinguished nine groups of emissions without certain attribution to a certain center. These coins are without ethnic, very useful factor to recognizing mint. Analysis of dies, effigies, legends, denominations, countermarks of some coins and comparison with earlier and later tradition could provide some answers for proper attribution.

Having defeated the Celts in northern Italy, the Romans built the Via Postumia, a vital road connecting Aquileia (east) and Genova (Genoa, west), in 148 BC. On that occasion, the Romans founded Bedriacum, a small vicus close to the present town of Calvatone (Cremona), which past and current excavations by the University of Milan are revealing as a vital centre of Roman Gallia Cisalpina (Cisalpine Gaul). Recent investigations have shed new light on coin circulation and offer fresh data to be compared with hoarding trends and old finds.
The aim of this paper is to analyse the Calvatone Hoard 1942, a significant reserve of 16 Roman coins. First, the paper assesses the discovery of the hoard and its coins, dated from the second century BC to the early age of Augustus, which offer a great deal of information
concerning hoarding trends in Gallia Cisalpina and contribute to greater knowledge of the history and archaeology of northern Italy. Then the essay compares the Calvatone hoard with the circulation of the coins of Bedriacum and new archaeological data from excavations.

When an inconsistency is found within the context of an accepted rule, generally an unusual reason for its existence is sought. However, sometimes there are no such exceptions to explain an uncommon situation. Many researchers have assumed a special role for the production of pseudo-autonomous coins, but perhaps these coins were unexceptional among currency circulating in the provinces. Such coins were struck, in greater or lesser numbers depending on the relevant authority, by many centres in all of the Roman provinces. According to earlier theories, pseudo-autonomous coins, or, more accurately, coins without imperial portraits, were expressions of the status of a city and its independence; however, this was never confirmed in reality. The centres had some freedom to choose the images on the coins; these images were related on one hand to the city’s history and tradition and on the other to Roman authority and adherence to the Roman Empire. But might they entail a modest proclamation of civic independence without necessarily involving the status of the city? Coins without imperial heads are recorded mostly in cities in the Roman provinces. In Bithynia and Pontus these coins were struck by four centres, namely Byzantium, Amastris, Sinope, and Amisus, emphasising some traditions and cults in this region.

Security of state is one of the most important value, which affect on development and societies’ functioning. Policy of security in Poland depends of actions of the president, prime minister and other people who monitor and investigate internal and external risks so as to avoid any threats to national stability. In the Roman Empire responsibility of this policy was resting with the reigning emperor. The main purpose of this paper is to present ideology the ideology of safety in antique Rome and introduce the basic instrument used to archive it, which was numismatics.
Propaganda was one of the most widely instrument in the Roman Empire. Without a doubt it was emphasizing position of ruler and his most important qualities. Nowadays propaganda is spread by television, press or radio. In the Roman Empire this function was implemented by coins. By images presented on them, whole political programs and emperors’ ideologies were transmitted. One of the overarching and very popular values struck on the monetary emissions was Securitas, which was related to the stability and peace of Roman Empire. First coins with image of personification of security were struck during the reign of Nero, in AD 63/64. Legends directly related to prosperity Empire – SECVRITAS REI PVBLICAE – appeared in Late Roman Empire, during the reign of Constantine the Great and Licinius II. In IV century new constitutional order and was normalized. Therefore it was very important and vital for the state to emphasize happy events or peace through the idea, widely spread by emperor.
Management of security in antique times and modern reality differ character from one another. Nevertheless, in both periods the timeless values and stability should be emphasized along with prosperity and peace. In the Roman Empire one of the instruments were coins, in our times this function is being played by mass media. Undoubtedly, security of state is one of the most important attributes, which ought to be widely seen in both: ancient and modern times.

Between Roman Culture and Local Tradition presents a detailed analysis of the Roman provincial coinage of Bithynia and Pontus during the reign of Trajan (98-117), when 14 cities struck coins. The book characterises individual mints, the rhythm of monetary production, iconography and legends, and considers the attribution and dating of individual issues. Context is provided by studies on other categories of artefacts discovered in the local area, including epigraphic and material ones, such as fine art, sculptures and architectural remains. The extent of circulation is also analysed, as well as the coinage of the border centres of neighbouring provinces such as Thrace, Asia and Galatia-Cappadocia. Reference is made to historical sources, principally the correspondence of Pliny the Younger with the emperor, which can help to show the realities of life for the inhabitants of individual centres, including ongoing construction projects or local problems. Overall the book aims to reconstruct the coinage policy of individual cities and culture and religion in various centres during this period, as well as contacts and relationships among the local communities. In turn, the studies of individual cities allow for the creation of a general picture of coinage in the province.
