| Additional information |
The legend ΤΟ Β — "for the second time" — identifies this as part of a second civic bronze issue under the magistrate Marcellus, a grammateus or strategos whose name appears on a cluster of Sardian bronzes across Vespasian's reign. Sardes had backed the wrong side before: the city's support for various claimants during the upheavals of 68–69 required careful diplomatic recalibration once the Flavians consolidated power, and the resumption of civic coinage under named magistrates was part of that normalisation.
