Æ23 - Marcus Aurelius ΕΠΙ ΚΥΕΙΝΤοΥ Β (ΑΡ Α) ΜΑΙοΝΩΝ

Maeonia was a minor Lydian settlement whose civic coinage under Marcus Aurelius coincides precisely with the opening years of his reign — and with the catastrophic Antonine Plague, which Lucius Verus's returning eastern legions brought back through Asia Minor after 165 AD. The magistrate name partially preserved in the legend, likely a second tenure (ΑΡ Α denoting first archonship), helps anchor this issue within a narrow administrative sequence that epigrapher Louis Robert worked to untangle across multiple Maeonians issues in the mid-twentieth century.
