Coin of Dium under Salonina 254 - 268

Editor: This is a coin of Dium featuring Salonina. What strikes me is the wear on the coin, suggesting its extensive circulation. How do you interpret this work? Curator: The wear and tear are essential. It speaks to the socio-economic context in which this coin functioned. The material itself, likely bronze, hints at the resources available and the coin’s value within the local economy. Editor: That's fascinating, I never considered it from that angle. Curator: Examining the means of production and its subsequent use reveals so much about daily life and trade. Editor: I’ll definitely look at coins differently now.
