Adana's civic bronze issues of this period fall within the span of Rome's reorganization of Cilicia following Pompey's campaigns against the pirates in 67 BC — a sweeping settlement that restructured dozens of eastern Mediterranean cities almost overnight. The magistrate name Diodotos appears on the die as the eponymous authority responsible for the issue, a naming convention common to Cilician civic bronzes under the new Roman provincial framework.
SNG Levante 1221 is the primary reference anchor for this type, reflecting how thinly documented these civic magistrate issues remain in major collections.
