Additional information

Acmoneia was a Phrygian city of middling importance whose civic coinage under Gordian III was administered through the conventus at Apamea — one of the judicial circuits through which Rome managed the Greek-speaking interior of Asia Minor. The city minted sporadically, and its bronze issues from this reign survive in small numbers, largely because provincial Phrygian bronzes circulated hard and were rarely hoarded.

The reference VII.1#684.2 places this within Corpus of Acmoneia's documented die corpus, where individual magistrate names on the reverse legends allow attribution to specific civic officials — a paper trail Rome neither required nor controlled.
