Æ17 - Athenophilus

Athenophilus served as a magistrate at Ephesos during a period when the city was navigating the complicated aftermath of Roman intervention in the eastern Aegean — the defeat of Antiochos III at Magnesia in 190 BC had reshuffled civic authority across the region, and local magistrates like Athenophilus were among the first generation reasserting municipal identity under Roman suzerainty. His name appears on a small number of bronze issues, making die linkage studies across surviving examples genuinely useful for sequencing the magistracy.
