Axos Erythra — "Red Axos" — was the civic epithet Erythrae attached to its name to distinguish itself from other cities sharing the toponym, a common problem in the densely urbanized Aegean littoral. The magistrate named in the inscription, Claudius Secundus, held the office of strategos, a civic administrative role that by the mid-second century had become largely ceremonial — local elites competed for such posts precisely because they funded civic coin issues out of their own pockets.
Erythrae sat on the Ionian coast opposite Chios, and its civic coinage under the Antonine emperors is sparsely documented in major collections.
