Deultum
Vespasian founded Deultum, settled with veterans of Legio VIII Augusta, on the west coast of Lake Mandren between Anchialus and Apollonia. SNG Deultum (SNG Bulgaria, volume I), notes, "The coinage of Deultum began under Trajan (AD 100) with the issue of a single small denomination coin type. Following a long interval, a second issue was produced during the sole reign of Caracalla (December 211 - 217). After this, the city struck coins of (two denominations only) continuously up to the reign of Philip I (244 - 249), under whom the coinage of Deultum came to an end."
