Æ26 - Caracalla ΑΚΜΟΝΕΩΝ

Acmoneia was a Phrygian city whose civic coinage flourished precisely because it sat on major road routes through the Apamean conventus — the Roman judicial district that grouped interior Anatolian communities for administrative purposes. Under Caracalla, provincial bronze issues multiplied across Asia Minor as civic authorities competed for imperial favor, particularly after his 212 AD Constitutio Antoniniana extended citizenship across the empire and reshaped the politics of local identity.

The V.2#1323 reference places this within Burnett, Amandry, and Ripollès's corpus of Roman provincial coinage — a classification that has seen Acmoneian bronzes progressively better documented over the past two decades as hoards from western Turkey enter the scholarly record.
