Æ19 - Augustus ΦΙΛΩΝ ΤΡΥΦΩΝΑΣ

Ephesus was the seat of the Roman proconsular conventus for Asia, and civic bronzes issued there under Augustus frequently name local magistrates — here Philon and Tryphon, almost certainly serving as the annual grammateus or a paired magistracy responsible for authorizing the issue. These men are otherwise unattested in the epigraphic record, which is the norm rather than the exception for minor officials of the Augustan provinces.
