Æ20 - Caracalla ΑΛΙΝΔΕΩΝ

Alinda was a Carian hill town whose civic coinage output was modest even by provincial standards — most of its bronze issues are known from only a handful of specimens, and attribution to the Alabanda conventus (one of the judicial districts Rome used to administer Asia Minor) reflects administrative geography rather than any monetary relationship between the two cities. The reign of Caracalla saw a surge in provincial bronze production across Asia, partly driven by chronic shortages of official Roman small change in the eastern provinces.
