Æ24 - Commodus ΕΠΙ ΑΠΟΛΛΩ ΑΡ ΚΟΤΙΑΕΩΝ

Cotiaeum — modern Kütahya in western Phrygia — was a mid-tier conventus city that punched above its weight in civic bronze production during the Antonine and Severan periods. The magistrate name partially preserved in the obverse legend, Apollonios, reflects the local Greek administrative elite who sponsored these civic issues at their own expense, a form of civic euergetism that tied personal prestige directly to coin production. The city's output under Commodus is relatively modest in surviving numbers.
