Æ26 - Marcus Aurelius ϹΕ ΑΒΙΛΗΝωΝ Ι Α Α Γ ΚΟΙ ϹΥ ΕΚϹ

Abila was one of the cities of the Decapolis, a loose grouping of semi-autonomous Greco-Roman urban centers in the eastern provinces whose right to strike bronze coinage for local circulation was periodically granted and withdrawn by Roman governors. Issues under Marcus Aurelius from this mint are scarce — Abila's civic bronze output was never prolific, and the reign coincided with the Antonine Plague, which devastated eastern Mediterranean populations from roughly 165 AD onward and disrupted economic activity across the Levantine cities.
