Æ25 - Antoninus Pius ΕΠΙ ΤΑΜ ΑΙΛ ΘΕΟΦΙΛΙΑΝΟΥ ΠΟΡΟ

Poroselene was a small island polis in the Aegean, close enough to the Lesbian coast to fall administratively under the conventus of Pergamum rather than the nearer Smyrna district. The magistrate named in the inscription — Ail. Theophilianos — bears the Aurelius gentilicium, suggesting a family enfranchised under Hadrian or early in the reign of Antoninus Pius himself. Provincial bronze of this mint is genuinely scarce; Poroselene produced no large civic series, and most surviving specimens derive from a handful of known dies.
