| Additional information |
Hypaepa was a small Lydian city in the Cayster River valley whose coins are notable primarily for their magistrate inscriptions — the ΕΠΙ formula naming the local strategos responsible for the issue. L. Iulianus held that office during the co-regency period when Commodus was elevated to Augustus alongside his father, a politically charged moment that prompted renewed civic coin production across the Ephesian conventus as cities competed to demonstrate loyalty.
Hypaepa's bronze output under Marcus Aurelius is sparsely documented, and dies attributable to Iulianus's tenure are few.
