| Additional information |
Sagalassus, high in the Taurus Mountains of Pisidia, was among the most prolific civic minting authorities in Asia Minor during the second century. The city's bronze output under Hadrian reflects his active tour of the eastern provinces — he visited the region around 129 AD — a journey that prompted numerous cities to issue honorific bronzes acknowledging imperial presence. Whether this piece commemorates that visit directly or represents routine civic production is unresolved, but the RPC III attribution places it firmly within a well-documented Sagalassian sequence distinguished by consistent fabric and relatively tight weight control for provincial bronze.
