Roman State Coin Legends :
Coin Type :
Caesars
|
I have compiled this list
from various sources on the internet and added quite some terms myself, I dare say.
What you do is first see how much you can read on your coin. Then just go the the 'FIND'-button in
your browser. Now fill in the piece of legenda as you have read. 9 Out of 10 times you will get
more answers, but in combination with the flipside you now can maybe determine during which reign you
coin was struck.
This list does not claim to be complete. The Romans struck millions of coins. And then I am only
talking state-wise. So I may have missed some terms. Legenda of 'provincials'
are NOT included ! Succes !
