Æ15 - Augustus ΑΚΜΟΝΕΩΝ ΚΟΡΔΟΣ

Acmoneia, a small Phrygian city in the conventus of Apamea, produced civic bronze coinage under Augustus through local magistrates whose names appear on the coins as a mark of municipal pride and Roman-sanctioned autonomy. The magistrate Cordus named here is otherwise unknown beyond his appearance on this and related issues — no literary source preserves him, and his entire historical presence amounts to a handful of surviving bronzes.
