| Additional information |
This issue names three magistrates — Demetrios, Kokos, and Sopatros — placing it within Ephesos's late Republican magistrate coinage, a series produced while the city navigated the violent instability of Rome's civil wars. Ephesos changed hands repeatedly during this period, serving as a base for Brutus and Cassius before Antony effectively made it the administrative capital of the Roman East after Philippi in 42 BC. The city's mint remained active throughout, issuing civic bronzes that functioned alongside Roman currency in a region under constant military and fiscal pressure.
