| Additional information |
Patras functioned as one of the twelve cities of the Achaean League before Augustus refounded it as the Roman colony Colonia Augusta Aroe Patrensis around 14 BC, resettling it with veterans and effectively ending the city's autonomous civic coinage. The magistrate name ΑΙϹΧΡΙΩΝ appears on a small cluster of bronze civic issues attributable to the late Hellenistic phase, suggesting a brief window of production rather than a sustained series.
The abbreviated civic bronzes of Patras are frequently misattributed to neighboring Achaean mints — the epigraphy is the primary diagnostic.
