The inscription ΕΠΙ ϹΤΡ ΚΟΥΑΡΤΟΥ ΤΟ Β records a second term of office for a Roman strategos named Quartus — the kind of administrative detail that makes provincial bronzes genuinely useful as historical documents. Pergamum, seat of its own conventus and long accustomed to Roman oversight, used the strategos's tenure as a dating mechanism in place of a civic era during certain periods. Quartus held this post during the stable middle years of Antoninus Pius's reign, when Asia Minor saw little disruption and civic minting was largely ceremonial.
