Roman Provincial coins are coins that were minted in the provinces of the Roman Empire by civic authorities rather than by Imperial authorities. These coins were a continuation of the original currency system that existed prior to the arrival of the Romans. The coins issued by a city were mostly used by the inhabitents of that city in local transactions. When a new region was conquered by Rome, the Imperial authority would often allow the continuation of the original currency as a matter of practicality. Often, when a new Colony was formed it would be given power to mint bronze coins.
