| Aanvullende informatie |
Thessalonica held the status of a free city within Macedonia, a privilege that granted it the right to strike its own bronze coinage — an autonomy jealously maintained and periodically renegotiated with Rome. Issues under Trajan fall within the first years of his reign, coinciding with the Dacian Wars that consumed Roman military and financial attention between 101 and 106 AD. The city's mint was active precisely because local bronze filled a gap that Rome's central mints had no interest in covering at this scale and distance.
The spelling ΘΕϹϹΑΛΟΝΙΚΕωΝ — with the lunate sigma — is characteristic of provincial Greek epigraphy from this period in Macedonia.
