PROVINCIA DACIA : i coni

Between AD 246/247 and AD 255/256, a chronological segment comprising the reigns from Philip I to the joint reign of Valerianus I and Gallienus, there was a mint within the Dacian area that issued a series of sestertii, dupondii and asses (plus some medallions). On the obverse is depicted either the emperor or a member of the imperial family to right while on the reverse is illustrated the personification of Provincia Dacia or Pax with the inscription PROVINCIA DACIA encircling the design; in the exergue is a dating year preceded by the abbreviation AN. These coins, commonly known as the Provincia Dacia coinage, are the subject of the present book. The analysis is carried out by identified obverse dies series based on 876 sestertii, 2 medallions, 96 dupondii and 29 asses.
