Æ25 - Antoninus Pius ΒΡΙΟΥΛΙΤΩΝ

Briula was a minor Lydian city whose exact location remains disputed — most scholars place it somewhere in the Cayster River valley, but no excavation has conclusively confirmed the site. Its coins are rare precisely because the city was small and its autonomous bronze issues appear confined to a narrow window under Antoninus Pius. The conventus of Ephesus administered Roman judicial business for the region, but civic bronze at this level was a local prerogative, issued to facilitate small transactions the Roman silver economy never reached.
