| Additional information |
Apollonia ad Rhyndacum was a minor Mysian city whose civic coinage under Gordian III falls within the broader reorganization of the Cyzicus conventus — one of the judicial districts through which Rome administered the province of Asia. The city struck bronze autonomously during Gordian's reign (238–244 AD), a period when dozens of small Asian mints briefly revived local production, partly in response to the near-collapse of central authority following the Year of the Six Emperors in 238.
The reference VII.1#69 places this within the standard corpus for the region, but Apollonia ad Rhyndacum issues remain thinly documented compared to the major Cyzicus mint output.
