The Koinon of Cyprus — the island's federation of cities acting as a collective civic body under Roman provincial administration — issued bronze coinage citing the name of the sitting proconsul as a mark of loyalty and administrative alignment. Kominios Proklos held the proconsulship of Cyprus during Claudius's reign, and his name appears in the genitive on this issue as the authorizing magistrate. Cyprus had been a senatorial province since Augustus detached it from Syria in 22 BC, which is why proconsuls rather than imperial legates governed it.
