| Additional information |
Aegium held a privileged position among Achaean cities — it was the traditional meeting place of the Achaean League, and local bronze issues under the Antonines reflect civic pride in that historical association rather than any administrative necessity. Rome permitted such municipal bronzes in the Greek east largely as a concession to local identity, with no standardized weight or module enforced from above.
The BCD collection reference IV.1#8092 places this piece within a well-documented but sparsely populated series; Aegium's Antonine output is modest by regional standards.
