| Additional information |
Tralles, a prosperous city in the Maeander valley, was granted the right to strike civic bronze under Roman authority — coins that circulated locally while Rome's own silver handled long-distance commerce. The city had a complicated recent history by Domitian's reign: a catastrophic earthquake in 26 BC had leveled much of it, and reconstruction under Augustus reshaped the urban fabric considerably. Provincial issues of this period from the Ephesian conventus are often poorly catalogued, and die linkages across the Domitianic civic bronzes of the region remain incompletely studied.
