| Additional information |
Maeonia was a small inland polis in Lydia whose civic coinage under Antoninus Pius was tied directly to the tenure of individual Roman governors — the magistrate name Moucianus recorded here places this issue within the earliest years of the reign, when local minting rights were still being renegotiated under the new emperor. The "AR Γ" designation indicates a third term in office for this strategus, a detail that survives almost entirely through the coins themselves, since no literary source bothers with the administrative careers of minor Lydian officials.
