| Additional information |
Pionia was a minor settlement in the Adramyteum conventus of Mysia, rarely documented in either literary or epigraphic sources, and its civic coinage output under the Antonines was extremely limited. The magistrate name in the legend — rendered ΕΠΙ ϹΤΡ ΛΟΥΠΕΡΚ ΚΑΙ, an abbreviated form of a Latin-derived name, likely Lupercus — reflects the hybrid Greek-Roman administrative naming conventions common to small Mysian minting authorities of the period. The "(sic)" notation on the reference suggests an irregular or possibly corrupt spelling in the die itself, not an error in transcription.
