| Aanvullende informatie |
Synnada, a Phrygian city elevated to the seat of one of Asia Minor's judicial conventus under Roman administration, struck coins through local civic authority rather than imperial mint — this piece dates to the reign of Trajan Decius, who came to power after the death of Philip the Arab at the Battle of Verona in 249. The ΔΩΡΙΕΩΝ ΙΩΝΩΝ reverse legend is the more interesting detail: it asserts a claimed Dorian and Ionian foundation mythology, a common honorific formula among Phrygian cities competing for prestige within the conventus system.
Civic bronze of this region effectively ceased with Gallienus's reign, making issues under Decius among the final decades of a centuries-long local minting tradition in Phrygia.
