| Additional information |
Apollonia ad Rhyndacum was a minor Mysian city whose civic coinage under Gordian III falls within the administrative jurisdiction of the Cyzicus conventus — one of the assize districts through which Roman governors conducted judicial circuits in Asia Minor. The abbreviation Π ΡΥ in the legend almost certainly references a local magistrate, a grammateus or strategos whose abbreviated name appears on this and related issues, tying the emission to a specific administrative moment rather than a continuous civic mint program.
