Æ24 - Antoninus Pius ΕΠΙ Γ ΦΙΛοΜΗΤοΡοϹ ΑΠοΛΛΩΝΙΕΡΙΤΩΝ

Apollonoshieron was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage under Antoninus Pius represents one of the quieter corners of provincial bronze production — small enough that the magistrate's name, here rendered as Philomêtoros, sometimes appears on only a single known die pairing. The epithet itself, meaning "mother-loving," was an honorific that local magistrates occasionally adopted to signal loyalty or family piety, distinct from any imperial title.

The conventus of Sardis administered a sprawling network of such communities, and coins from the smaller members of that network survive in genuinely low numbers.
