| Additional information |
Aezani, situated in inland Phrygia, was one of the more prosperous cities of the Sardis conventus — a judicial district Romans used to administer Asia Minor without building a separate bureaucracy for every city. The Temple of Zeus at Aezani, still standing today, was either under construction or recently completed during Hadrian's reign, and the emperor's well-documented tour of the eastern provinces in 123–124 AD likely brought him through the region. Municipal bronze of this type was struck on local authority, financed by the city itself, and circulated only within the immediate economy — Rome had no hand in its production.
