| Additional information |
Parium, the old Phrygian coastal colony on the Propontis, retained its status as a Roman colony under the Flavians and used that privilege to issue local bronze well into Domitian's reign. The city's colonial coinage was administratively grouped under the conventus of Adramyteum, one of the judicial assize districts into which Rome divided the province of Asia — a bureaucratic geography that determined which cities could mint and under whose oversight.
Domitian's damnatio memoriae in 96 AD means his name was systematically erased from public monuments, yet colonial bronzes like this one rarely received the same attention from officialdom, and many survived in circulation untouched.
