| Additional information |
Attuda was a small Phrygian city whose civic coinage depended entirely on the initiative of local magistrates — the ΔΙΑ ΜΕΝΙΠΟΥ ΑΠΟΛΩΝΙΟΥ formula names Menippos son of Apollonios as the issuing magistrate, a private citizen bearing the cost and administrative burden of the striking. No civic mint infrastructure existed in any permanent sense; these bronzes were produced episodically, when a magistrate chose to fund them.
