| Additional information |
Pitane, a coastal Aeolian city absorbed into the Roman province of Asia, issued coins under the conventus system — a judicial circuit arrangement through which Rome administered local affairs. The magistrate name rendered in the legend, Skipiōna, is a Greek transliteration of a Roman cognomen, almost certainly a local official carrying a Romanized name during the early Augustan reorganization of provincial administration following the settlement of 27 BC.
Augustus visited the eastern provinces in 21–19 BC, and the years immediately after saw a surge in civic bronze issues across the Pergamene conventus, many explicitly honoring him by name.
