Æ15 - Hadrian ΕΛΑΙΤΩΝ

Elaea was a small Aeolian port city on the Gulf of Cyme, functioning primarily as the harbor town for Pergamum — a relationship that shaped its entire civic identity during the imperial period. Under Hadrian, numerous minor Asian cities seized on his well-documented philhellenism and extensive provincial tours to issue civic bronzes asserting local presence, however modest.

The spelling ΕΛΑΙΤΩΝ places this firmly within the standard Ionic ethnic used by the city, consistent with other known civic issues from the Pergamene conventus.
