| Additional information |
Acmonea was a minor Phrygian city whose civic coinage under the Severans was produced in relatively small volumes, surviving today in scattered museum holdings and private collections. The conventus of Apamea administered a loose network of such cities, each granted the right to strike bronze for local use — a privilege that could be revoked and was not automatically renewed.
V.2#802 places this among a documented series, but Acmonean bronzes of Caracalla's reign rarely turn up in excavation contexts, suggesting limited regional circulation rather than export beyond the immediate hinterland.
