Additional information

Temenothyrae was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage under the Antonines is poorly documented and rarely surfaces in trade. The parenthetical note on the reverse ethnic — that the rho may be rendered as a Ϸ (san or a variant cursive form) — reflects genuine epigraphic inconsistency known from this city's issues, likely a product of local die-cutters working without standardized letter templates rather than any deliberate archaism.
