Æ27 - Commodus ΕΠΙ ΑΡΧ ΜΟϹΧΙΑΝΟΥ ΠΑΝΚΛΕΟΥϹ ΑΠΟΛΛΩΝΙΔΕΩΝ

Apollonis was a small Lydian city of modest political weight, which makes the naming of a local magistrate on a civic bronze issue the primary record of his existence. Moschianus, son of Pankleos, held the archonship sometime in the mid-180s — years when Commodus was deepening his identification with Hercules and systematically alienating the Senate in Rome. None of that turbulence reached Apollonis in any visible way. The city simply minted.
