Æ24 - Marcus Aurelius ΑΙΤΗ ΦΛ ϹΗϹΤΥΛΙΑΝΟ (sic)

Stectorium was a minor Phrygian settlement granted the right to strike bronze coinage under Roman oversight through the Conventus of Apamea — a judicial and administrative district that bundled dozens of small Anatolian communities under a single Roman framework. The magistrate name preserved here, rendered ΑΙΤΗ ΦΛ ϹΗϹΤΥΛΙΑΝΟ, carries an obvious scribal or die-cutting error in its spelling, making this issue a minor epigraphic curiosity as much as a numismatic one. The date correlates with the very opening of Marcus Aurelius's reign, when joint rule with Lucius Verus had just been declared.
