| Additional information |
Dios Hieron was a small Lydian city whose very name — "Sacred to Zeus" — reflects the sanctuary that anchored its civic identity. It struck bronze coinage sparingly under Augustus, and the magistrate name preserved in the legend (ΠΡΑ, an abbreviated strategos or grammateus) is one of the few pieces of administrative evidence we have for the city's internal governance during the early imperial period. The Conventus of Ephesus grouped dozens of such minor Anatolian mints under Roman judicial oversight without suppressing their right to issue local bronze.
