| Additional information |
Nacrasa was a minor Lydian city whose coinage output was sparse enough that individual issues can sometimes be tied to specific civic occasions — games, imperial visits, or honorific dedications — rather than routine monetary production. The years 161–163 correspond almost exactly to the joint accession of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus, and provincial mints across the Pergamene conventus scrambled to produce honorific bronzes acknowledging the new co-emperors. Whether Nacrasa struck for Marcus alone or issued a parallel Verus type remains an open question in the corpus.
