| Additional information |
Hierapolis in Phrygia held the coveted title of neokoros — official keeper of an imperial cult temple — and this coin's reverse legend advertises exactly that status. The homonoia type signals a formal concordat between Hierapolis and at least one neighboring city, likely Laodicea or Apameia, both of whom periodically competed for primacy within the Cibyran conventus. These inter-city homonoia agreements were frequently renewed under Philip I, whose reign coincided with Rome's millennial celebrations in 248 AD and a surge in civic coin production across Asia Minor.
