| Additional information |
Tium was a minor coastal polis on the Black Sea shore of Bithynia whose civic coinage output was modest even by regional standards. Under Antoninus Pius, cities throughout Bithynia and Pontus enjoyed relatively stable conditions to strike bronze for local exchange — the emperor's long, untroubled reign being one of the few periods where provincial mints weren't scrambling to commemorate a military crisis or dynastic emergency. Tium's issues from this reign are scarce in the market, a reflection of the town's limited commercial reach rather than any dramatic historical event.
