Æ16 ΙΕΡΑ ϹΥΝΚΛΗΤΟϹ

Hermocapelia was a small Lydian city whose civic coinage was issued under Roman provincial authority, subject to the conventions of the Pergamene assize. The legend ΙΕΡΑ ϹΥΝΚΛΗΤΟϹ — "Sacred Senate" — indicates this piece was struck in honor of the Roman Senate, a common honorific practice among minor Asian cities seeking to signal loyalty and, not incidentally, maintain favorable relations with Rome during a period when civic minting rights could be revoked.

BMC Greek 7 places this among the earliest attributable bronzes from the city.
