The ΟΜΟΝΟΙΑ (homonoia) coinage between Hierapolis in Phrygia and Ephesus reflects a formal alliance of civic prestige rather than political necessity — these issues were struck to advertise mutual recognition between cities competing fiercely for provincial honors under Roman imperial oversight. Ephesus held the title of neokoros multiple times; Hierapolis was eager to associate itself with that distinction. The abbreviated Π Ε on this piece denotes the magistrate responsible for the issue, a convention common in the Conventus of Cibyra during the Severan through Philippic periods.
