| Additional information |
Attuda was a minor Phrygian city whose civic coinage depended almost entirely on the goodwill of the Roman provincial administration. The designation ΔΙΑ ΦΛΑΒΙΑϹ ΙΕΡΙΑϹ — "through Flavia Hierias" — identifies the local magistrate or benefactress who funded or authorized this issue, a practice common in Asia Minor where wealthy civic figures underwrote bronze production as a form of public munificence.
The Conventus of Alabanda, the judicial district to which Attuda belonged, was an administrative grouping rather than a political entity, and coins attributable to Attuda under Severus are scarce enough that die links between surviving specimens have not been thoroughly mapped.
