| Additional information |
Neapolis ad Harpasum was a minor Carian city whose civic coinage output under the Antonines was modest enough that individual magistrate issues survive in very small numbers. The inscription naming the grammateus Proteus — a civic secretary overseeing the issue — reflects the Greek East's administrative habit of crediting local officials on bronze civic coinage, a practice Rome never formally required but consistently tolerated.
IV.2#973 places this among the rarer attestations of the city's bronze series.
