| Additional information |
Poemanenum was a minor Mysian city whose civic coinage under Philip I reflects the broader explosion of provincial bronze issues that followed Rome's third-century administrative reorganization of Asia Minor. The city's output was never large, and attributions within the Cyzicus conventus remain complicated by overlapping iconographic conventions shared across neighboring mints.
Philip's reign ended at the Battle of Verona in 249, when his forces were defeated by Decius. Provincial issues like this one effectively ceased with the transition of power.
