| Additional information |
Docimeum owed its prominence almost entirely to the marble quarries in its territory — the white and purple-veined pavonazzetto extracted there was shipped across the empire for imperial building projects, including Hadrian's Pantheon. The city's coins reflect that administrative weight within the Synnada conventus, even if the mint's output was modest by Anatolian standards.
The ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΩΝ ethnic in the legend traces to the Macedonian military settlers planted in Phrygia during the Hellenistic period, a colonial identity the city still advertised on bronze coinage three centuries later.
