| Additional information |
Trapezopolis was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage exists in small numbers across only a handful of known types, making any survivor notable simply for its rarity. The magistrate name rendered here — Φλ. Μαξ. Λυσίου, likely a local official of Flavian descent serving under the provincial conventus at Alabanda — is the kind of ephemeral administrative detail that survives nowhere in the literary record, only on bronze.
