Æ18 - Hadrian Ρ ΔΡΥΜΙΚΟϹ ΑΝΕΘΗΚΕΝ

Bruzus was a minor Phrygian settlement within the conventus of Apamea, and coins issued there are among the rarer products of the inland Anatolian civic mints. The dedicatory inscription naming a local benefactor — a practice common in the Greek East where wealthy citizens funded coin issues to advertise their civic generosity — places this piece within a well-documented but seldom-preserved tradition of euergetism at the village level rather than in major provincial centers.

The conventus of Apamea grouped numerous small communities for Roman administrative purposes, but few produced bronze at this scale of obscurity. Rykmikos (the dedicant named) is otherwise unattested.
