| Additional information |
Apamea in Bithynia was a Macedonian colony refounded by Prusias I, who renamed it from its earlier Phrygian identity as Myrlea. The abbreviation C I C A in the field references the colony's formal Latin designation — Colonia Iulia Concordia Apamea — a title that points to a Caesarian or early Augustan grant of colonial status, most likely under Julius Caesar's resettlement programs following his campaigns in the east. That dating sits uneasily against the listed range, suggesting this piece belongs firmly toward the terminus rather than anywhere near the archaic end.
