Æ23 - Antoninus Pius ΤΑΝΑΓΡΑΙωΝ

Tanagra's civic bronze issues under Antoninus Pius belong to a broader revival of local coinage across Greek poleis that the emperor quietly encouraged as part of his decentralizing administrative style — a sharp contrast to Hadrian's more interventionist approach to the provinces. The city itself had been reduced to a minor Boeotian backwater by the imperial period, its classical fame resting almost entirely on the sanctuary of Demeter and the Graces and its terracotta figurine industry rather than any ongoing political significance.

The reference IV.1#7856 places this among the RPC IV online corpus, where many Achaean civic bronzes of this reign remain provisionally attributed pending die studies.
