	Coin Encyclopedia Articles @ EnormousJackpot.com
		Coins are usually used for lower-valued units, and banknotes are usually used for the higher values; also, in most money systems, the highest value coin is worth less than the lowest-value note.
		Some coins have coin orientation, where the coin must be flipped vertically to see the other side; other coins, such as British coins, have medallic orientation, where the coin must be flipped horizontally to see the other side.
		Coins are popularly used as a sort of two-sided die; in order to choose between two options with a random possibility, one choice will be labeled "heads" and the other "tails," and a coin will be flipped or "tossed" to see whether the heads or tails side comes up on top.

		The coins as a rule bear a single letter on either side, but some of the finest are signed ΑΡΙ and ΚΑΛ, identified by Evans with Aristoxenos and Kal..., whose signatures occur upon coins of the neighbouring city of Heraclea, and are supposed by him to be engravers’ names (Fig.
		B.C. The later coins issued during the period of the compulsory alliance of Tarentum with Rome are distinguished by Evans from those of Period VIII by their somewhat larger module and by their more minutely elaborate style and execution.

	Introduction to Numismatic Terms and Methods
		Thus every coin has a style, which consists of the sum of its images and epigraphy and their usage as translated by the engraver to the surface of the dies and thence to the coin itself.
		We know that the absolute number of coins produced in a given series is a number probably irrecoverable when mint records have been lost; and since coins began to be lost, discarded or destroyed almost from the moment they left the mint, the surviving record is woefully imperfect.
		Coins are invariably among the most numerous artefacts found in excavation contexts, and almost always the most precisely dateable ones.

		Constantine's new gold coin, the solidus, was accompanied by two fractional gold denominations, the semissis (half solidus), and a 9-siliqua piece weighing 9/24 of the solidus.
		Each of these new coins was clearly marked with its value as a multiple of the nummus, and their large scale issue from an expanding mint system meant a return to the more settled economic conditions of earlier times.

	Ancient coinage of Calabria
		In the district called by the Greeks Messapia and Iapygia, and by the Romans Calabria, the only town which presents us with a continuous series of coins, extending from the earliest period down to its final cap- ture by the Romans is the populous and wealthy city of Tarentum.
		Among the earliest coins of Tarentum are thin plate-like disks with the reverse-types incuse, similar in weight and fabric to the coins of the Achaean cities of Southern Italy and to the first issues of Rhegium and Zancle, andc.
		Tarentum was the last of the cities of South Italy to admit the necessity of accommodating her silver coin- age to the Roman six-scruple standard.

	RCC/Roman Coin Denominations
		By 211 B.C. Roman coin denominations had underwent significant transitions and new silver denominations such as the denarius (10 asses), the quinarius (5 asses), and the sestertius (quarter denarius) were issued.
		Obeying Gresham's Law, "the bad money chased out the good" and these new coins, antoniniani (aside: we do not know the actual name of the denomination as it is lost to his-tory, antonmianus is one of Caracalla's names) chased denarii, dupondii, sestertii and asses out of circulation by the middle of the 3rd century.
		However, once you grasp the relationships between coins and recall the truism "a soldier's pay was a denarii a day," you can begin to imagine which coins circulated for what purposes.
