Æ15 ΙΣ ΔΗΜ; ΑΝΤΙΠ ΛΕΠΙ

Antipolis — modern Antibes — was a Massalian colonial foundation that gained direct Roman oversight after Massalia backed Pompey in the civil war and lost its autonomy to Caesar in 49 BC. This bronze issue belongs to the decades immediately following that transfer, when local Gallic communities along the Ligurian coast were navigating the transition from Greek-influenced civic administration to Roman provincial governance. The magistrate abbreviations ΑΝΤΙΠ ΛΕΠΙ likely reflect a hybrid civic structure still operating in Greek while answering to Roman authority.
