Additional information

Nacrasa was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage depended entirely on the tenure of individual magistrates — the ΕΠΙ ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙΟΥ formula fixes this piece to the administration of a man named Demetrios, whose second term in office the Τ Β notation records. The city's attribution to the Pergamene conventus placed it under the judicial circuit centered at Pergamum, one of nine assize districts Rome carved out of the province of Asia. Magistrate-dated bronzes from Nacrasa are sparsely represented in major collections, a reflection of the city's limited output rather than exceptional loss rates.
