Additional information

The inscription ΤΟ Β — "for the second time" — records that this issue was struck during Kephalion's second term as strategus, a local magistracy whose holders used coin production as a vehicle for civic self-promotion under Roman provincial administration. Hadrian visited Asia Minor in 123–124 AD, and the surge in civic bronze issues from Pergamene conventus cities around this period likely reflects anticipation of or response to that imperial presence. Pergamum had long cultivated its relationship with Rome, having voluntarily bequeathed its kingdom to the Republic in 133 BC.
