Æ21 - Gordian III ΑΔΡΙΑΝΕΩΝ

Hadrianeia was a minor inland city of Mysia, almost certainly founded as a refoundation or renaming under Hadrian in the early second century — one of several Asian cities that owed their civic identity, and often their right to mint, directly to imperial patronage. By the reign of Gordian III, the city was issuing bronze under the authority of the Adramyteum conventus, the Roman judicial district that administered the surrounding region. Local bronze of this type circulated as small change within the city and its immediate territory, never traveling far.
