Acmonea was a Phrygian city of middling importance whose civic coinage under Gordian III survives in frustratingly inconsistent quality, largely owing to the poorly maintained dies used by local bronze workers. The conventus of Apamea — the Roman judicial district to which Acmonea belonged — produced a dense cluster of civic bronzes during Gordian's reign, making attribution sometimes tricky without the full magistrate inscription intact.
VII.1#690 places this among the documented Acmonean types in Franke and Nollé's corpus of Phrygian coinage.
