| Additional information |
Akmoneia was a Phrygian city whose civic coinage of the late Hellenistic period is notable for the unusually prominent role of named magistrates in its issues. Theodotos, son of Hierokles, appears as the responsible authority on this bronze — a practice that allowed local elites to attach their families to public religious and monetary administration simultaneously. The name Hierokles itself suggests priestly connections, common among Akmoneian magistrate families attested across multiple issues from this city.
