| Additional information |
Teos, a coastal Ionian city best known in antiquity as the birthplace of the poet Anacreon and a major center of the Dionysiac Artists' guild, struck a modest civic bronze coinage under Nero that reflects the city's continued autonomy in local minting even as it operated within Rome's provincial framework. The Smyrna conventus administered judicial and administrative affairs across a cluster of Aegean cities, but coin production remained a municipal prerogative, and Teos exercised it selectively.
The ethnic ΤΗΙΩΝ — "of the Teians" — asserts civic identity in the nominative genitive, a formula Teos used consistently across its imperial bronzes.
