Æ22 - Antoninus Pius ΑΛΙΝΔΕΩΝ (Α with curved crossbar)

Alinda was a secondary Carian city that rarely struck coins independently, doing so mainly to assert civic identity within a province where larger centers like Mylasa and Stratonicea dominated. The alpha with a curved crossbar in the ethnic ΑΛΙΝΔΕΩΝ is a locally consistent orthographic feature documented across the city's small imperial series, not a die anomaly — it reflects a regional lapidary habit rather than a cutter's error.
