| Additional information |
Hypaepa was a small Lydian city in the Cayster valley whose civic coinage under Augustus reflects the administrative reorganization of Asia following Actium. The magistrate name ΠΑΠΙΩΝ (Papion) serving as grammateus — the secretary responsible for overseeing civic coin issues — appears across a small group of bronzes from this municipality, suggesting a relatively brief tenure or a tightly defined emission.
The grammateus title itself signals local Greek institutional continuity under Roman provincial rule.
