| Additional information |
Provincia Dacia was created as a single administrative unit in 246 AD under Philip I, consolidating the earlier three-part division — Dacia Porolissensis, Apulensis, and Malvensis — into one province with its own era dating system, the Anno Provinciae. This coin, struck in AN II, places it in the second year of that reckoning, coinciding almost exactly with Philip's preparations for the Secular Games of 248 AD, the millennial celebration of Rome's founding that his reign would be defined by.
The provincial era coinage of Dacia is unusually short-lived; it ends abruptly with Philip's death at Verona in 249 AD, making the full series span barely three or four years.
