Æ17 - Antoninus Pius ΚΙΛΒΙ ΠΕΡΙ Ν

Nicaea Cilbianorum was a small inland city of Lydia — not to be confused with the far more prominent Nicaea in Bithynia — situated in the Cayster River valley and subordinate to the Ephesian conventus for judicial administration. Its coins are scarce precisely because it was a minor settlement minting only sporadically under the Antonines. The ethnic legend ΚΙΛΒΙ ΠΕΡΙ Ν references the Cilbian district, a geographic designation that appears inconsistently across surviving specimens, suggesting limited and possibly interrupted production runs.
