Pautalia’s Coinage for Emperor Antoninus Pius and Caesar Marcus Aurelius | Монетосеченето на Пауталия за император Антонин Пий и цезар Марк Аврелий

 

Abstract: During the reign of Emperor Antoninus Pius (following the city’s issue of pseudo-autonomous coins), Pautalia’s mint issued its first provincial coins whose obverse dies depict a portrait of the Roman emperor. In Pautalia, coins for Emperor Antoninus Pius were issued in three phases: 139 – 144 AD, 157 – 158 AD, and 160 – 161 AD. On December 5th, 139 AD, eighteen-year-old Marcus Aurelius received the title of Caesar. In the period up until March 7th, 161 AD (his inauguration), Pautalia’s mint issued coins for the young Caesar in two stages: 139 – 144 AD and 157 – 158 AD. Key words: Pautalia, Pautaliaʼs coins, Antoninus Pius, Caesar Marcus Aurelius Антонин

The Rarest Provincial Coins of The West Pontic Cities of Dionysopolis, Odessos, Mesеmbria, Anchialos, and Apollonia

The Rarest Provincial Coins of The West Pontic Cities of Dionysopolis, Odessos, Mesеmbria, Anchialos, and Apollonia 

Най-редките провинциални монети на западнопонтийските градове Дионисополис, Одесос, Месамбрия, Анхиалос и Аполония 

This publication includes the rarest provincial coins of the West Pontic cities of Dionysopolis, Odessos, Mesembria, Anchialos, and Apollonia Pontica. All specimens described herein have been illustrated (where possible, with color photographs) in actual size, with a notation of their full metric parameters and provenance, as well as the publication in which the respective coin type was first described and illustrated. The catalog includes only coins with the emperor’s portrait on the obverse die. The so-called “pseudoautonomous” coins, which also belong to provincial coinage, are the subject of a separate publication. The numismatic material collected, analyzed, and systematized here can be used for future research on the economic, political, and religious history of the cities included in this publication.

В настоящата публикация са включени най-редките провинциални монети на западнопонтийските градове: Дионисополис, Одесос, Месамбрия, Анхиалос и Аполония Понтийска.  Всички описани екземпляри са онагледени (където това е възможно – с цветни фотографии) в реален размер, посочени са пълните им метрични параметри, местосъхранение и публикацията, в която за първи път е описан и онагледен съответният монетен тип.  В каталога са включени само монети с императорски портрети върху аверсния печат. Така наречените „псевдоавтономни“ монети, които също се числят към провинциалните, са предмет на отделна публикация.  Събраният, анализиран и систематизиран нумизматичен материал може да послужи за бъдещи проучвания върху икономическата, политическата и религиозна история на включените в публикацията градове. 

Counterfeits of Provincial Apolonian coins

Abstract: Very soon after the appearance of the coins - already in the 6th century BC, emerged the striving for their counterfeiting and imitation as money. The coins of Apollonia Pontica are among of the most counterfeited antique coins. There are a number of studies on fake silver autonomous coins and it can be asserted that they are well investigated. Provincial urban coins are also subject to counterfeiting. Until now, this is-sue has not been addressed, except for a publication by T. Gerasimov some half a century ago. Over the last two decades on auctions in Western European countries, modern counterfeits of Apollonian coins, difficult to identify, emerged. In the present study we have included such four specimens put up for sale in 2010, 2015, 2017 and 2018. The precise comparative analysis of the coins dies proves that the three counterfeits are modern replicas of Apollonian provincial coins produced in Bulgaria. The replicas are part of a series of souvenirs, freely produced and sold with a certificate.

Abstract: In order to illuminate Apollonia’s place in the system of Roman provincial coinage in Thrace and Lower Moesia, we compare its coinage with that of the neighboring western Pont cities: Mesembria, Anchialos, Odessos and Dionysopolis. From the comparative analysis of the reverse dies iconography of Apollonia coins with those issued simultaneously in Anchialos, Mesembria, Odessos, and Dionysopolis, one can see that there is (with one exception) the characteristic interaction for neighboring cities and the use of the same reverse die types. The revealed similarities in the metric parameters of the same denominations prove that the provincial coins of the individual cities are part of the well-structured Roman coinage. Until the numismatic corpus for all the cities in Moesia and Thrace have been produced and published in order to be able to compare the available avers dies used to strike their emissions, we should not jump into conclusions, and hypotheses such as that of Kraft, should be taken as a posteriori. The iconography, style and chronology comparative analysis of the west Pont cities Apollonia, Anchialos, Mesembria, Odessos, and Dionysopolis coin-age shows that the Greek polis Apollonia Pontica had its functioning mint during the Roman era. Apollonia engravers for centuries have built their own flair and style, distinct from that of the neighboring west Pont mints. Although quite modest, the city coinage of Apollonia produced during the Roman era, contributed to the Roman provincial coinage in Thrace, offering various and attractive iconographic scenes on its reverse dies.
