Æ14 - Augustus ΙΕΡΑΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ ΚΩΚΟΣ

Hierapolis in Phrygia sat within the conventus of Cibyra, one of the four assize districts Rome organised across the province of Asia — a jurisdictional geography that quietly shaped which cities gained the prestige of issuing civic bronze. The magistrate name ΚΩΚΟΣ appearing on this issue is a local eponymous official, a practice that tied coin production to specific annual terms of office and has since become the primary tool for sequencing Hierapolitan civic bronzes chronologically. The 5 BC dating places this squarely in the period of Augustus's second visit to the eastern provinces.
