Abstract
While identifying coin finds from Carnuntum the author came upon an imperial middle bronze of Pella in Macedonia unknown in the literature. After the defeat of Perseus, the last Macedonian king, in 168 BC the country was divided into four regiones, which recovered the right of coinage in 158 BC; following the revolt of Andriscus they were combined into the province of Macedonia in 148 BC but continued as administrative units. Under the Republic the governors had bronzes struck at Thessalonica whose obverses follow contemporary Roman denarii. Pella sank to an unimportant provincial town; the province received the right of coinage in AD 44, restricted to aes, and the autonomous civic coinage of Pella begins only under Hadrian.
