Pagae was a minor Megarian port on the Corinthian Gulf, and civic bronze issues from there are genuinely scarce — the town's limited political weight under Roman administration meant short, irregular minting episodes rather than sustained production. This piece falls within Commodus's later reign, after his increasingly erratic behavior had begun straining relations with the Senate, though provincial mints in Achaea continued issuing civic bronzes largely indifferent to the chaos in Rome. Very few dies are known for Pagaean issues of any emperor.
