| Additional information |
Midaeum was a minor Phrygian city whose civic coinage survives in very small numbers, likely reflecting both a limited local mint output and the town's modest economic footprint within the Synnada conventus. The conventus system — Rome's administrative division of Asia Minor for judicial and fiscal purposes — grouped smaller cities like Midaeum under Synnada's jurisdiction, and coins from these subordinate mints rarely traveled far from their point of issue.
The reign of Severus Alexander saw a modest revival of provincial bronze production across Phrygia following the disruptions of Elagabalus's reign.
