Additional information

Eumenea, a Phrygian city refounded by Attalid kings and later absorbed into the Roman province of Asia, maintained the right to strike civic bronze under Tiberius — a privilege that came with the expectation of visible loyalty. The magistrate name ΟΥΑΛΕΡΙΟΣ ΖΜΕΡΤΟΡΙΞ is a striking collision of Roman gentilicium and Celtic personal name, almost certainly a descendant of Galatian settlers whose families had hellenized their civic identity while preserving ancestral nomenclature for generations after the Galatian kingdom's absorption into Rome in 25 BC.
