Æ24 - Antoninus Pius ΕΠΙ ΠΟΠΛΙΟΥ ΓΡΑΜΜΑΤΕΟ (sic) ΤΡΑΛΙΑΝΩ (sic)

The magistrate name preserved in the legend — Poplios Trallianus — identifies a local grammateus, a secretary-level civic official whose role in authorizing bronze coinage at Tralles was administrative rather than honorary. The misspellings in both ΕΠΙ ΠΟΠΛΙΟΥ and ΤΡΑΛLIΑΝΩ are not damage or die wear but errors cut directly into the die, suggesting the engraver worked from a written instruction rather than a standard template. Provincial bronzes of the Antonine period frequently reveal this kind of workshop informality, but a double orthographic error in a single legend is uncommon enough to make this specific die identifiable across surviving specimens.
