Æ25 - Marcus Aurelius ΒΑΡΓΑϹΗΝΩΝ

Bargasa was a minor Pisidian or Carian settlement — its precise regional attribution remains debated — whose civic coinage under Marcus Aurelius represents one of the few material traces the city left at all. The mint was active only sporadically, and issues bearing the ΒΑΡΓΑϹΗΝΩΝ ethnic are scarce in any condition. Association with the Alabanda conventus placed it within a Roman administrative district centered on a far more prominent city, a bureaucratic assignment that likely had little bearing on day-to-day civic life in Bargasa itself.
