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.

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

These originate from Roman Imperial coins struck between 80-82 AD, in the Imperial branch mint located in Thrace or Bithynia.

In this period in Bithynia and Pontus, monetary policy may have depended on central intervention central intervention, rivalry between cities, trade, army, and cult.

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.

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.

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 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).

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
ABSTRAKT Celem niniejszego artykułu jest podsumowanie aktualnego stanu badań na temat napływu monet prowincjonalnych zarejestrowanych na obszarze historycznej Małopolski. Pod pojęciem "mennictwa prowincjo-nalnego" rozumiane są tutaj zarówno monety prowincjonalne bite w mennicach produkujących monety na użytek danej prowincji, jak i tzw. monety pseudoautonomiczne i autonomiczne bite w mennicach lokalnych. W niniej-szym tekście uwzględnione zostały monety produkowane w mennicach zlokalizowanych we wschodniej części Cesarstwa Rzymskiego poczynając od Dacji i Mezji, i położonych dalej na Wschód i Południe aż po prowincje w Azji Mniejszej, Syrię i Egipt, jak również monety bite przez władców Królestwa Bosporańskiego. Ramy chrono-logiczne niniejszych rozważań wyznaczają końcowe dziesięciolecia Republiki / początek Cesarstwa oraz reforma Dioklecjana (294 r. n.e.). Pod uwagę zostały wzięte przede wszystkim znaleziska monet brązowych i tzw. bilono-wych. Jedynie krótki akapit poświęcony został monecie srebrnej.
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
Stray finds and hoards of Bar Kokhba coins were found in a lot of sites,
and give some information about territorial range, but unfortunately most of these coins are without archaeological context. In deposits from refuge caves or villages, some Roman imperial and provincial exemplars of Bar Kokhba coins that circulated in this region have been registered. The main characteristics of these coins were presented based on some of the selected deposits.
