Æ17 - Nero ΕΠΙ ΤΙ ΔΑΜΑ ΜΙ

Miletus, by Nero's reign, was a city running largely on administrative inertia — its classical glory long spent, its harbor silting badly, its role reduced to the seat of one of Asia's judicial districts. The magistrate name preserved in the legend, Titus Damas, appears on a small group of local bronzes from this period and represents one of the few fixed points for sequencing the city's mid-first-century civic coinage.
