| Additional information |
Pompeiopolis, founded by Pompey the Great following his defeat of Mithridates VI in 66 BC, retained its founder's name and civic pride well into the imperial period. The city's bronze coinage under Hadrian corresponds almost certainly to his eastern tour of 131–132 AD, during which he traveled through Cilicia — civic mints across the region seized on imperial visits as occasions to strike local bronzes honoring the emperor in person.
