Peltae was a small Phrygian city whose civic coinage under Septimius Severus often names local magistrates directly — here Iunius, serving his second term as archon, is recorded in the legend. This kind of eponymous dating is invaluable to historians reconstructing the administrative calendars of minor Asian cities, most of whose civic records otherwise do not survive.
