| Obverse description | Draped bust of a female deity to right, the hair elaborately coiffed, set within a dotted border. The circular Greek legend ΕΠΙ ΤΕΙΜΟΘΕΟΥ ΑΡΧΟΝΤΟϹ (meaning 'under Timotheos, archon') runs around the periphery of the flan, identifying the local magistrate responsible for the issue. The style is consistent with provincial bronze coinage of Caria under the reign of Antoninus Pius. |

| Additional information |
Hyllarima was a minor Carian city whose civic coinage output under the Antonine emperors was sparse enough that individual die studies remain incomplete. The reference IV.2#908 places this piece within the standard RPC IV.2 online corpus, where a significant number of Hyllariman bronzes are still classified as unattributed or tentative — the city's mint was small, its dies few, and surviving specimens are genuinely scarce in any condition.
The Conventus of Alabanda grouped several semi-obscure Carian towns for Roman judicial administration, Hyllarima among them.
