Miletus retained the right to strike civic bronze under Caligula, as it had under his predecessors, though the city's relationship with Rome by this period was essentially that of a compliant provincial center long stripped of meaningful autonomy. The Ionian cities competed quietly for imperial favor, and local bronze issues like this one functioned as much as civic self-advertisement as they did small change.
I#2707 places this within a well-documented Milesian series, but individual die studies have shown considerable variation across the reign's output from this mint.
