Æ16 T ANICIO C MATVINO AED

Parium, a Greek colonial foundation on the Propontis coast, retained the right to issue local bronze well into the Roman period — a privilege extended selectively and often tied to civic loyalty during moments of Roman political stress. This piece names the aediles T. Anicius and C. Matvinus, Roman magistrates overseeing the colony's administration in 44 BC, the year Caesar's assassination threw the western provinces into acute uncertainty about which authority to acknowledge.

The SNG Copenhagen specimen remains the primary reference point for die study of this magistrate pairing.
