| Additional information |
Hierocaesarea, a minor Lydian city near Thyatira, owed its civic identity almost entirely to the imperial cult sanctuary of Artemis Persica — a temple that predated Roman rule and retained a Persian priestly tradition long after the Achaemenid withdrawal. The city's very name fused that cult prestige with loyalty to Rome. Issues from this period are sparsely documented, with the RPC III corpus drawing heavily on the von Aulock specimen to establish the type.
