Æ14

Hierocaesarea, a small city in Lydia, minted under Hadrian with unusual consistency for a community of its size — its civic coinage is notable precisely because the city's chief claim to fame was its temple of Persian Artemis, a cult site explicitly exempted from Roman interference by Tiberius in an early display of religious accommodation toward eastern sanctuaries. The RPC III assignment to 1863A places this among a closely studied group where obverse die-sharing between Hierocaesarea and neighboring Lydian mints has been documented.
