Æ26 - Marcus Aurelius ΑΙΓΙΕωΝ

Aegium was one of the oldest cities of the Achaean League and retained civic pride in that association long after Rome dissolved the League in 146 BC. Provincial bronze issues under Marcus Aurelius were produced entirely at local initiative and expense — the city petitioned for the right to strike, bore the cost, and controlled distribution. No central Roman authority dictated the volume or timing.

The reference IV.1#8098 places this within the RPC Online corpus, where Aegiean bronzes of this reign remain sparsely documented by surviving specimens.
