Æ19

Isinda was a small city in Pisidia, a rugged inland region of Asia Minor that Rome never fully administered through conventional means. Following Actium, Augustus reorganized the Greek East through a patchwork of client arrangements and civic grants rather than direct rule, and Pisidian cities like Isinda gained the right to strike local bronze precisely as part of that settlement — autonomous coinage being both a civic privilege and a practical necessity in regions where Roman provincial supply chains ran thin.

SNG France 1596 places this issue within a narrow documented window. Pisidian civic bronzes of this period are poorly represented in major collections.
