Æ17 - Hadrian ΙΝΔΙ ϹΤΡΑ ϹΥΝΚΛΗΤΟϹ

Stratonicea in Lydia — not to be confused with the better-known Stratonicea in Caria — received the honorific suffix "Hadrianopolis" following Hadrian's extensive tour of the eastern provinces, during which dozens of cities across Asia Minor sought imperial favor through renaming. The legend ϹΥΝΚΛΗΤΟϹ, invoking the Roman Senate, was a deliberate civic flattery: provincial bronzes that honored the Senate alongside the emperor were a calculated gesture of constitutional loyalty, particularly useful for cities lobbying for elevated status or tax privileges.
