| Additional information |
Synnada, a Phrygian city whose civic pride rested heavily on its marble quarries — the lapis Synnadicus prized across the Roman world for interior decoration — issued bronze fractions under Tiberius as part of the broader wave of provincial coinage that followed Augustus's reorganization of the eastern mints. The city held the seat of a Roman conventus, giving it administrative standing that translated directly into the right to strike civic bronze.
The reference I#3182A suggests a sparsely documented variety, unsurprising for small Phrygian bronzes of this module, which survive in limited numbers and rarely attracted systematic die study until recent decades.
