| Additional information |
Acmonea was a minor Phrygian city whose civic coinage under Hadrian reflects the broader explosion of Greek imperial bronze production that accompanied his philhellenic tours of the eastern provinces. Hadrian visited Asia Minor multiple times during his reign, and cities throughout the conventus of Apamea seized on imperial favor as an occasion to assert civic identity through locally struck bronze — coins that circulated almost exclusively within their issuing community.
The reference III#2612 places this among a densely catalogued series where die links between Phrygian civic issues are still incompletely mapped.
