The broad phenomenon is mirrored in other kinds of sources, from Dio Chrysostom to Pliny to Dio Cassius, the senatorial historian from Nicomedia: even as more of the local gentry assimilated and became vital to the social and economic fabric of the empire at large – in short, became Romans – they continued to proclaim their hellenism with vigor, as much in their coins as in their inscriptions, their monuments and their literature. It both was a component, and for us a reflection, of the local pride in institutions and eagerness for self-promotion that subsisted at both a local and a regional level. Alongside the denarius system were hundreds of coinages, struck by different authorities and primarily in base metal, that allowed the denarial mints to restrict their activity principally to the west.ĢWestern local coinages had been suppressed already by the time of Nero, but in the eastern provinces an increasingly vital tradition of local coinages reached its zenith in the third century. ![]() But anyone who has ventured beyond the pages of Coins of the Roman Empire in the British Museum or Roman Imperial Coinage knows that there was more to the picture than this. From one end of the Mediterranean to the other – even Egypt, which was formally outside the system until the reform of Diocletian – we can find accounts kept, sums denominated, and hoards deposited in good Roman currency: aurei, denarii, sestertii and their fractions. It survived in recognizable form for three centuries, finally perishing in early AD 293. That system, devised in 23 BC included a series of denominations in four metals, fixed in relationship to one another. Sakellariou, 1904).1In the first three centuries of our era the currency system of the Mediterranean was the largest and most stable the world had ever known.
