| Aanvullende informatie |
Smyrna was among the most prosperous and politically connected cities in the Roman province of Asia, and it spent lavishly on civic coinage throughout the Antonine period. This issue falls within the first half of Marcus Aurelius's reign, before the Parthian campaigns consumed imperial attention and resources. The city held the prestigious title of neokoros — temple warden of the imperial cult — which it used aggressively to negotiate favorable status with Rome and to justify a continuous, varied bronze output for local exchange.
