Æ17 - Antoninus Pius ΜΑΙοΝΩΝ

Maeonia was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage under Antoninus Pius reflects a broader pattern of municipally-sponsored bronze production across the Sardis conventus — the Roman administrative circuit through which traveling magistrates dispensed justice, creating both occasion and incentive for local mints to assert civic identity through coinage. These small bronzes circulated hyperlocally and rarely traveled far from their issuing city.
