| Additional information |
Dorylaeum, a minor Phrygian city on the road between Nicaea and Synnada, struck bronze issues under Gordian III as part of the broader civic coinage tradition that Rome permitted to provincial cities — a privilege that effectively ended with Diocletian's monetary reforms in the 290s. The city's issues from this reign are scarce, and the Synnada conventus to which it belonged produced some of the thinnest documented civic series of the mid-third century.
BMC references for Dorylaeum are fragmentary, making VII.1#760 one of the few anchor points for attributing die links across this civic group.
