Æ14 - Livia ΚΛΕΩΝ ΑΓΑΠΗΤΟϹ ΕΥΜΕΝΕΩΝ

Eumenea, a Phrygian city refounded by Attalid rulers in the second century BC, issued this bronze under the magistrate Kleon Agapetos during the early Tiberian period. The city was a loyal participant in the imperial cult of the Julio-Claudian house, and issues honoring Livia — wife of Augustus, mother of Tiberius — reflect that civic investment in dynastic flattery at the local level. Kleon's name appearing prominently signals the magistracy system by which Phrygian cities assigned accountability for coin production to named officials.
