Additional information

RPC I 2367 belongs to a small civic issue from Pergamum produced during the final decade of Augustus's reign, when the city was navigating its role as the administrative center of the Pergamene conventus — one of the judicial districts Rome used to organize the province of Asia. The magistrate name ΔΗΜΟΦΩΝ appears on this type, anchoring it to a specific local official whose tenure we cannot date more precisely than the broad window the series allows.

Pergamum had been the first city in the eastern provinces to receive permission for an imperial cult temple, granted in 29 BC. That early alignment with Rome shaped the city's output of small bronze issues like this one for generations.
