| Aanvullende informatie |
Smyrna was among the most politically assertive cities in the Greek East, aggressively cultivating imperial favor throughout the second century. Under Commodus, the city held the rare title of "thrice neokoros" — meaning it had received permission to build three imperial cult temples — a distinction it fought to defend against rival cities like Ephesus and Pergamon in what became a prolonged, at times bitter, civic competition adjudicated by Rome.
Local bronze of this size circulated almost entirely within the city's own market economy, never leaving the conventus.
