Æ17 - Marcus Aurelius ΙοΥΛΙΕΩΝ

Iulia was a minor Phrygian city whose civic coinage under Marcus Aurelius reflects the broader pattern of Greek imperial bronzes issued across Asia Minor following Rome's reorganization of the region's administrative conventus system under Synnada. These small civic pieces were struck on local authority, not imperial directive, and circulated almost exclusively within their issuing community — effectively invisible to Roman monetary administration in Rome itself.
