Æ17 - Hadrian ΑΙΓΑΕΩΝ ΔΕΙΦ ΟΛΥΜ

Aegae was a minor Aeolian city whose civic coinage relied heavily on its claim to host one of the more obscure regional cults of Zeus Olympios — the ΟΛΥΜ abbreviation in the legend being that assertion in abbreviated form. The city used such titles competitively, as the honorific right to call oneself a seat of Olympic cult carried real political weight in the provincial hierarchy under Rome.

Aegae's bronzes from the Hadrianic period are sparsely documented, and III#1925 remains one of the few referenced die pairings for this specific legend combination.
