| Additional information |
Carnuntum served as the principal Roman legionary base on the Danubian frontier and, briefly, as the seat of imperial power — it was here in 308 AD that Diocletian convened the Conference of Carnuntum, his last significant act, attempting to resolve the chaos of competing emperors tearing apart the Tetrarchy. The amber route connecting the Baltic coast to the Adriatic passed directly through the site, making it a commercial hub well before the legions arrived.
Niue has issued hundreds of themed silver coins under licensing arrangements that have little connection to the issuing territory itself.
