Æ22 - Vespasian ΤΙ ΚΛΑΥΔΙΟϹ ΦΟΙΝΙΞ ΕΠΙ ΙΤΑΛΙΚΟΥ ΒΛΑΟΥΝΔΕΩΝ ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΩΝ

Blaundus, a small Lydian city in the Sardis conventus, styled itself "of the Macedonians" — a colonial identity claim tracing back to its Macedonian settler foundation, almost certainly under the Seleucids in the third century BC. The magistrate name Italicus recorded in the legend is otherwise poorly attested, and the archon Tiberius Claudius Phoenix named alongside him suggests a local elite family that had received Roman citizenship, likely under Claudius or Nero, before this issue was struck under Vespasian's reign.
