| Additional information |
Hieropolis in Phrygia — not to be confused with the more famous Hierapolis near Laodicea — was a minor civic mint that struck bronze under the conventus jurisdiction of Apamea. Caracalla's co-reign with Septimius Severus from 198 AD and his sole rule following his father's death in 211 opened a long window for provincial issues, making precise dating within this type's span difficult without accompanying titulature. Civic bronzes from the Apamean conventus were produced locally to supplement Roman coinage in everyday transactions, the central authority caring little about their designs so long as the emperor's name appeared.
