c. 269 BC/BCE to Present
Rome opened its first mint near the Temple of Juno around 269 BC/BCE and continued to produce coins for the Roman Empire until 476 AD/CE. After the Roman Empire, coinage was continued under the Visigoths, Ostrogoth, Byzantine Empire and then the Carolingians. Under Carolingian influence Rome become part of the Papal states and minted silver coins recognizing both the Carolingian rulers and the authority of the Popes. When civil authority over the city of Rome was restored in the 12th Century, the city started minting coins under the secular government and continued through the renaissance to the modern times. There are currently two mints operating in Rome, the first opened in 1911 and it was supplemented by a more modern facility in 1999.
