| Additional information |
Nacrasa was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage under Hadrian reflects the emperor's sustained engagement with the Greek East — he visited the region during his 123–124 AD tour of Asia Minor, a journey that prompted a wave of honorific issues from small poleis eager to signal loyalty. Whether this piece predates or follows that visit is unresolvable from the type alone, but the Pergamene conventus connection places it firmly within the administrative orbit of one of Rome's most prestigious provincial centers.
