Attaea was a minor Mysian city whose civic coinage output was sparse enough that individual magistrate issues can often be tied to single administrative terms. The inscription referencing Kodratos — the presiding magistrate here — places this piece within the brief window of 109–110 AD, when Trajan's Dacian campaigns had concluded and the eastern provinces were absorbing a wave of imperial reorganization. Civic bronzes of Attaea in this period are notably underrepresented in major collections, a consequence of the city's limited mint activity rather than any particular circulation attrition.
