| Additional information |
Harpasa was a small Carian city whose civic coinage under the Flavians is poorly documented and survives in frustratingly small numbers. The city's allegiance to Rome was cemented well before Domitian's reign, but local bronze issues of this period functioned primarily for intra-regional exchange within the Alabanda conventus — the assize district through which Roman judicial and administrative authority flowed across the interior of Asia Minor.
RPC II 1215 is a scarce type with very few specimens recorded in major collections.
