Æ20 - Nero ΕΠΙ ΤΙ ΔΑΜΑ ΜΙΛΗϹΙΩΝ

Miletus had been a shadow of its classical self for centuries by the time Nero came to power, but the city retained the right to strike local bronze coinage — a privilege Rome extended selectively to trusted provincial centers. The magistrate name preserved in the legend, Titus Damas, anchors this piece to a specific civic administration otherwise largely invisible in the literary record. Provincial bronzes of this type circulated hyperlocally, rarely traveling far beyond the issuing city's immediate hinterland.
