Æ25 - Marcus Aurelius ΑΙΓΙΕωΝ

Aegium was one of the twelve cities of the Achaean League, and under Roman imperial administration it retained the right to strike local bronze — a privilege that was as much political signal as practical necessity. These provincial issues circulated regionally, supplementing Rome's own coinage in a market where small bronze denominations were perpetually undersupplied. The reign of Marcus Aurelius saw a marked uptick in provincial civic issues across Achaea, likely tied to the administrative reorganization following the Antonine consolidation of Greek civic rights.

The reference IV.1#8097 places this within the Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum corpus for the Peloponnese.
