| Additional information |
Hierapolis in Phrygia — not to be confused with the better-known Syrian city — sat within the conventus of Cibyra, a Roman judicial district reorganized under Augustus as part of his broader administrative restructuring of Asia Minor. This coin belongs to a civic bronze series issued in the name of a local magistrate, Matron son of Apollonios, whose title reflects the Greek practice of eponymous civic office still functioning under Roman provincial oversight. The magistrate's name appearing so prominently was a mark of local prestige, not Roman imposition.
