Æ28 - Domitian ΣΕΒΑΣΤΗ ΟΜΟΝΟΙΑ

Prusias ad Hypium, a small Bithynian city on the Lycus river, issued coins under Domitian as a demonstration of civic loyalty to a emperor who demanded it more aggressively than most. The ΟΜΟΝΟΙΑ legend — Homonoia, meaning concord — was a common device among provincial cities to signal harmonious relations either with Rome or with neighboring communities, though for a city of Prusias's limited regional standing, the assertion carried as much political aspiration as it did fact.

Domitian's provincial coinage was sharply curtailed empire-wide following his damnatio memoriae in 96 AD, making issues from his reign systematically underrepresented in surviving civic bronze series.
