| Additional information |
Teos, a coastal Ionian city best known in antiquity as the birthplace of the lyric poet Anacreon, issued bronze coinage under the Smyrna conventus — the judicial circuit through which Roman administrative authority was exercised across the region. The magistrate name ΒΕΡΗΚΟΥΝΔΟΣ (Berecundus) is a Latinized name rendered in Greek, suggesting a local official of Roman or Romanized background serving in a hellenophone city. Such hybrid nomenclature is characteristic of the provincial elite under the Antonine settlement.
