| Additional information |
Tiberiopolis was a small Phrygian city whose civic coinage output under Hadrian was limited enough that individual magistrates' names — here the strategus Sosthenes — appear on the dies as a matter of local accountability rather than honorific convention. The city's coins from this period are poorly represented in major collections, and die studies remain incomplete.
