| Additional information |
Creteia-Flaviopolis was a small Bithynian city with a fractured civic identity baked into its very name — "Creteia" the older Hellenistic settlement, "Flaviopolis" the Flavian-era refoundation, likely under Vespasian, grafted onto it. The hyphenated city name on the coin's legend is itself a record of that administrative merger, two communities that never fully shed their separate origins.
