| Additional information |
Parium, a Roman colony on the Propontis with roots stretching back to Greek foundation, retained the right to strike local bronze coinage well into the Antonine period — a privilege that was far from automatic and reflects the city's sustained relationship with imperial administration. The pairing of Antoninus Pius with the name Verus almost certainly dates this issue to the years following Hadrian's adoption of Antoninus in 138, when Lucius Verus was simultaneously adopted as junior heir, making dual-name references a brief and chronologically specific phenomenon on provincial bronzes.
