| Additional information |
Aezani, a Phrygian city in the conventus of Sardis, was among the more prosperous inland communities of Roman Asia Minor — home to one of the best-preserved Temples of Zeus in the ancient world, still standing today. Local bronze issues of this type were struck under the authority of a civic magistrate, the name partially preserved in the obverse legend, functioning as the issuing official rather than a mint master in any Roman sense. These fractional bronzes circulated within the immediate region and rarely traveled far.
