| Additional information |
The magistrate named in this coin's legend — Antius Julius Quadratus — was one of the most decorated senators of the Trajanic period, serving twice as suffect consul and as a close ally of the emperor during the Dacian wars. His second consulship fell in 105 AD, and his tenure as proconsul of Asia, which this coin commemorates, dates to around 109–110. Provincial bronzes naming the presiding Roman magistrate were a deliberate act of civic flattery by Pergamum, a city long practiced in cultivating imperial favor.
