| Additional information |
Cadi was a Phrygian city of modest standing whose civic coinage under Claudius reflects the broader administrative reorganization of Asia Minor following Augustus's settlement of the Greek East. The ethnic ΚΑΔΟΗΝΩΝ — genitive plural, "of the Kadoënoi" — identifies the issuing community in the conventional Hellenistic formula that Roman provincial cities retained long after annexation. RPC I 3054 is known from a small die study corpus, and the type is sufficiently scarce that individual specimens contribute meaningfully to what little is understood about the city's mint output under the Julio-Claudians.
