| Additional information |
The Koinon of Galatia was a provincial assembly established after Augustus reorganized the region as a Roman province in 25 BC, and its coinage served the administrative and cultic needs of the league rather than standard commercial exchange. The ΜΗΤΗΡ ΘΕωΝ reverse — invoking Cybele, the Phrygian mother of the gods — reflects the deep roots of her cult across central Anatolia, which Rome was careful to accommodate rather than suppress. The ΕΤΕΙ Ν dating formula, reckoning from the province's foundation year, places this piece firmly within the reign of Tiberius.
