| Aanvullende informatie |
Abydus, the Mysian city controlling the narrowest crossing of the Hellespont, issued bronze coins under Nero during a period when the strait itself was strategically critical — Vespasian's forces would later use this crossing during the civil wars of 69 AD. Provincial bronze of this size from the Conventus of Adramyteum survives poorly; the small module and thin fabric made these coins vulnerable to ancient loss and corrosion in the region's soil conditions.
