| Additional information |
Canatha, one of the cities of the Decapolis, issued bronze coinage under Caligula using a local civic era rather than the standard Roman regnal system — the dating on this piece corresponds to year 85 of that Canathene reckoning. The city sat in the Hauran region of what is now southern Syria, and its mint output under the early Julio-Claudians remains sparse, making individual issues difficult to sequence with confidence.
