Æ - Mostis

The Caeni were a minor Thracian tribe whose territory sat in the hinterland between the Hebros valley and the Aegean coast — a region increasingly squeezed by Roman administrative expansion following the organization of Macedonia as a province in 146 BC. Mostis was their dynast, one of several local rulers who continued issuing bronze civic coinage well into the late second century, a privilege Rome tolerated from compliant client-adjacent communities. His issues are attested across multiple catalog traditions but remain poorly documented in terms of die studies.
