Æ20 - Faustina II ΠΑΛΑΙΟΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ

Palaeopolis was a small Macedonian city whose civic coinage is poorly documented and survives in very limited numbers. Issues attributed to the reign of Faustina II as Augusta — before Marcus Aurelius acceded alone in 161 — represent the municipality exercising the provincial privilege of bronze emission under the Antonine settlement, a right that many minor Macedonian cities held only intermittently.

The IV.3#7692 reference places this within a specialized corpus of provincial bronzes where die linkage studies remain incomplete.
