| Additional information |
Nacrasa was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage under Marcus Aurelius coincides almost exactly with the opening of the Parthian War — the conflict that would ultimately drag Lucius Verus eastward and introduce the Antonine Plague to the Roman world. Small bronzes of this type circulated locally within the Pergamene conventus, the judicial district Rome used to administer western Anatolia, and rarely traveled far.
