| Additional information |
Acmonea was a Phrygian city that retained the right to strike local bronze under Roman oversight through the conventus system, with Apamea serving as the judicial district hub. Maximinus Thrax, the soldier-emperor who never set foot in Rome during his entire reign, was recognized on provincial bronzes across Asia Minor despite the Senate's open hostility toward him in the west. His reign lasted just three years before his own troops killed him outside Aquileia in 238.
