Æ25 - Traianus ΒΕΡΟΙΑΙΩΝΑ, Beroea

Beroea (modern Veria in Macedonia) maintained active civic bronze coinage throughout Trajan's reign, issuing under its own magistrates rather than through any provincial mint authority. The city's Greek ethnic formula in the legend — rather than a Latinized form — reflects the persistence of Hellenistic civic identity in Macedonia well into the second century, even as Roman administrative structures tightened across the province.
