Æ20 - Antoninus Pius ϹΥΝΑΕΙΤΩΝ

Synaus was a minor Lydian settlement whose civic coinage is poorly documented and sparsely represented in major collections. Issues attributed to the opening years of Antoninus Pius's reign — before the provincial minting networks fully realigned under the new administration — tend to be among the scarcest from the Sardis conventus, a judicial district that otherwise produced abundant coinage from more prominent cities like Sardis itself and Philadelphia.

The ethnic ϹΥΝΑΕΙΤΩΝ confirms attribution to the citizen body rather than a magistrate issue, placing this among the more anonymously produced civic bronzes of the period.
