| Additional information |
Sardes served as the seat of one of the seven conventus juridici — Roman assize districts — established in Asia Minor, meaning the city hosted periodic courts where the Roman proconsul of Asia dispensed justice across a wide catchment of communities. Local bronze issues from this period often functioned as much as civic advertisement as currency, asserting a city's administrative importance within the Roman provincial hierarchy. The strategos named in the inscription, Λιβωνιανος, would have held magisterial responsibility for the issue itself.
