I was going thru the Roman coins I've picked up over the years, and found this fun thing.

Constantine did a massive overhaul of the money system, including standardized mintmarks.

At the bottom of the reverse of this little copper coin (follis) is "AQP" -- AQuileia, at the Prime (1st) workshop!

I particularly love the coins of the first century and a half of the Sasanian Empire. Although their lack of mintmarks (generally) and regnal dates makes them less useful than the later Sasanian coinage, they are just gorgeously engraved and struck.
Obverses of 14 Sasanian coins from the reign of Ardašīr I (1 tetradrachm, 2 drachms, 1 obol), Šāpūr I (1 drachm), Wahrām I (1 dracm), Wahrām II (3 drachms), Narseh (1 drachm, 1 hemidrachm), Ohrmazd II (2 drachms), and Šāpūr II (1 drachm). Obverses show the bust of the king, facing right, with each king wearing a unique crown (sometimes more than one).

Almost 40 mintmarks are attested for AH 79, and many of these operated until AH 83 or 84. Then there was a period (85-89 AH) where only Damascus and Wasit minted consistently, followed by another decade with a flood of mintmarks (until 98/99 AH).

Mintmarks on the coins of the Second Fitna attest to the vast region ruled by ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Zubayr (r. 683–92) and his allies. Although he was branded a “rebel” by the victors in this conflict, clearly ibn al-Zubayr’s legitimacy as “Commander of the Faithful” was widely recognized. 20/

Looking through an old publication by me, on the train from Euston to Coventry & Warwick. Glad I recognise, and remain unembarrassed to own, what I wrote a decade ago. Find data distribution is foundational to everything I've since explored. First, know what coins came from where.
Page of coin images, mostly bronzes from northern Apulia mid second Punic war with L, CA and P mintmarks, and some from further south Opening page - Andrew McCabe, The Roman Bronze Coinage struck in Apulia and South East Italy in the Second Punic War, with intro and a map Me in in blue in an Avanti train carriage. Unusually wearing a tie A barely legible map of find data of the relevant bronze and silver coin types in south east Italy
