| Additional information |
Pergamum's civic bronze issues under Augustus reflect the city's careful navigation of imperial favor — it had backed the wrong side at Actium and spent the following decades demonstrating loyalty through monument, cult, and coinage. The magistrate name ΛΕΥΚΙΟΝ (Leukion, a Hellenized form of Lucius) appearing on this issue places it within a local administrative sequence that scholars have used to build the relative chronology of Pergamene Augustan bronzes, though absolute dating within the reign remains contested.
