| Additional information |
Hydrela was a minor Phrygian town of little strategic consequence, which is precisely why its civic bronze coinage is numismatically interesting — small mints operating under the Cibyran conventus during Nero's reign often issued in tight, localized series tied to the tenure of specific magistrates. The dual name in the legend, ΑΠΕΛΛΑΣ ΑΘΗΝΑΓΟΡΟΥ, identifies a magistrate by both his own name and his father's, a Greek eponymous formula that anchors this piece to a single administrative moment in the town's otherwise poorly documented history.
