| Reverse description | Aphrodite standing to the left in full figure, draped in a long chiton, holding a dove in her extended hand. The goddess is rendered in a stiff, frontal-leaning provincial style typical of Laodicean civic bronzes. The reverse legend is distributed in the field around the figure, identifying the issuing magistrate and city. |

Laodicea ad Lycum sat at the junction of the Lycus and Maeander valleys, making it one of the wealthiest cities in Phrygia — wealthy enough to famously refuse imperial disaster relief after the earthquake of 60 AD, rebuilding entirely at its own expense. Under Tiberius, the city produced a range of small bronze issues through the Conventus of Cibyra, the administrative circuit that grouped several Phrygian and Lycian communities under a single Roman judicial framework established during the late Republican reorganization of Asia.
