| Additional information |
Laodicea ad Lycum sat on the Lycus River in Phrygia and was wealthy enough that when a devastating earthquake struck the city in 60 AD, it refused imperial reconstruction funds and rebuilt entirely from its own resources. By Philip I's reign, the city was one of the more prolific issuers within the Cibyra conventus, producing a wide range of bronzes for local circulation — this small module among the most modest in that output.
