Æ19 - Nero ΓΛΥΚΩΝ ΙΕΡΕΥΣ ΗΡΑΚΛΕΩΤΩΝ

Heraclea Salbace was a minor Carian city whose civic coinage under Nero frequently named local priests as the issuing authority — ΓΛΥΚΩΝ ΙΕΡΕΥΣ identifies the magistrate here as Glykon, a priest, almost certainly of the city's primary cult. This practice of priestly magistrates overseeing bronze emissions was common in the conventus of Alabanda, where Rome largely left civic administration, including coinage rights, in the hands of local religious and civic elites.

The city's bronze output under the Julio-Claudians is sparsely documented, and named magistrate issues help sequence what little survives.
