| Additional information |
Amorium sat in the interior of Phrygia, far enough from the Aegean coast that its civic bronze issues circulated in a genuinely local economy rather than competing with the denser monetary traffic of the western conventus cities. The magistrate name preserved in the legend — Sertorius Antonius — is a rare survival of a Roman-style nomenclature embedded in a Greek civic issue, suggesting a locally prominent family that had acquired citizenship, possibly under Hadrian's broad enfranchisement policies.
The conventus of Synnada was one of the smaller judicial districts in Asia, and civic issues attributed firmly to Amorium within it remain relatively sparse in the catalogued record.
