| Additional information |
Odessos, on the Black Sea coast of Lower Moesia, was a Greek foundation that maintained its civic coinage through a succession of Roman emperors. Under Hadrian the city enjoyed particular administrative attention — his tours of the eastern provinces in 123–124 AD brought imperial focus to Pontic and Danubian communities that had operated with considerable autonomy. Small bronzes of this module were the everyday exchange of local markets, and most circulated hard enough that surviving examples with readable legends are the exception rather than the rule.
