Roman mints

Roman mints during the time of the Republic

During the Republican period, the minting of coins was controlled by the Senate. Although the main mint was located at Rome, various other mints throughout the Roman provinces were permitted to strike coins, with the permission of the Senate. Toward the middle of the 1st century BC, coins were also struck by the military imperators, or generals, to pay their troops.
