Geta, 209 - c. 26 December 211 A.D., Pautalia, Thrace
|Pautalia|, |Geta,| |209| |-| |c.| |26| |December| |211| |A.D.,| |Pautalia,| |Thrace|, Almost every ancient coin can inspire questions from a curious mind. The Greek reverse legend on this coin reads, OVΛΠIAC ΠAVTAΛIAC. ΠAVTAΛIAC is Pautalia, but what and why is OVΛΠIAC? After his victories over the Dacians, Trajan enhanced the status of a number of provincial towns in Moesia Inferior and Thrace, including Pautalia, along with Serdica, Nicoplis ad Mestum, Marcianopolis, and a few others. These towns were authorized to mint coins and given the additional name Ulpia, after Trajan's father.
