| Additional information |
Prymnessus was a minor Phrygian city whose coins bearing Drusus's name place production almost certainly before his death in 23 AD — the sudden disgrace of his memory under Sejanus's influence would have ended any civic flattery promptly. The conventus of Synnada had limited mint activity, and bronzes of this small module from Prymnessus survive in very small numbers, suggesting a short or low-volume civic issue rather than a sustained series.
