| Additional information |
Ephesus held the title neokoros — temple warden of the imperial cult — multiple times over, and civic bronze issues like this one were minted in part to assert that status locally. The city's right to strike bronze was a privilege granted by Rome, not assumed, and the volume of types produced under Antoninus Pius reflects just how aggressively Ephesian magistrates exercised it during his reign.
