Æ24 - Antoninus Pius ΒΛΑΥΝΔΕΩΝ Μ (ΚΕΔ)

Blaundus was a Lydian city of modest regional standing, elevated to greater administrative visibility under the Roman provincial reorganization that placed it within the Sardis conventus — one of the judicial districts through which Roman governors conducted assizes. The magistrate name abbreviated in the legend likely held a local liturgical office, the kind of appointed civic role wealthy provincials were expected to fund personally, a system Rome relied upon to govern without paying for it.

Bronze civic issues from Blaundus are sparsely documented compared to neighboring Lydian mints, making die studies for this reign genuinely incomplete.
