| Additional information |
Parium, a Roman colony on the southern Myrtle Sea coast, was among the few Mysian cities still issuing autonomous-style bronze under the joint reign of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus — the first time Rome had seen co-emperors of equal rank. The city's coins from this narrow window reference Marcus alone by his Antonine nomenclature, before Verus's death in 169 effectively ended the experiment.
