| Aanvullende informatie |
Sinope, refounded as a Roman colony by Julius Caesar in 45 BC, began producing colonial bronze almost immediately — this piece likely belongs to the very first issues struck under the new administration. The magistrate abbreviation in the legend points to a local Roman official serving as proconsul and pontifex, titles that reflect how quickly Caesar's colonial apparatus imposed Roman civic and religious structures onto the old Pontic city that Mithridates VI had once made a royal capital.
