Æ28 - Gordian III ΜΙΔΑΕΩΝ

Midaeum was a minor Phrygian city whose civic bronze issues under Gordian III represent some of the last sustained municipal coinage from the region before the broader collapse of city-issued bronze across Asia Minor in the mid-third century. The city's name derives from the Midas legend, and it sat in the upper Tembris valley — productive agricultural territory that funded a modest but consistent civic mint through the Severan period and into the reign of Gordian.

The reference VII.1#766 places this within the Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum framework for Phrygian civic issues.
