| Additional information |
Temnus was a minor Aeolian city whose civic coinage under Hadrian reflects the broader reorganization of the conventus system in the province of Asia — Smyrna's judicial district absorbed several smaller poleis whose magistrates nonetheless retained the right to strike bronze for local use. The magistrate name ΙΟΥϹΤΟϹ (Iustus) places this coin within a documented sequence of issues, with the ϹΤΡ abbreviation identifying the local currency board rather than a mint officina in the Roman sense.
