| Additional information |
Silandus was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage under the Antonines was modest in output and irregular in frequency — this issue, naming the strategos Elenos as eponymous magistrate, belongs to a burst of local bronze production that coincided with Marcus Aurelius's reign, a period when provincial cities across Asia Minor leveraged imperial goodwill to assert civic identity through coinage. The absence of a von Aulock reference is telling; the SNG von Aulock corpus is otherwise thorough for Lydian material, suggesting genuine scarcity rather than cataloging oversight.
