| Additional information |
Traianopolis was a small Lydian city whose very name was a political gesture — founded or refounded in honor of Trajan, it then found itself issuing coins under his successor almost immediately after that successor had quietly abandoned Trajan's eastern conquests. Provincial bronze of this conventus was struck under the authority of the Roman governor at Sardis rather than any local magistrate, and the civic identity encoded in ΤΡΑΙΑΝΟΠΟΛΙΤΩΝ reflects a community still invested in the Trajanic name even as Hadrian's policies moved in a sharply different direction.
