Iconium occupied an awkward political position during this period — nominally under Seleucid influence, then absorbed into the client-kingdom arrangements Rome established across Asia Minor following Pompey's eastern settlements in 63 BC. The city would later become the regional capital of Lycaonia under Augustus, which is precisely when this bronze coinage was winding down, replaced by the more standardized issues expected of a properly administered Roman province.
