| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust of Diadumenian facing right, rendered from a rear three-quarter perspective, with the paludamentum visible over the shoulder. The portrait is executed in the provincial style characteristic of Phrygian civic coinage, with the cuirass depicted in detail. A Greek legend surrounds the effigy reading Μ ΟΠ ΔΙΑΔΟΥΜΕΝΙΑΝΟϹ ΚΑΙ, identifying the Caesar Diadumenian, son of Macrinus. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Macrinus held power for just 14 months — the shortest reign of any third-century emperor who died of something other than plague — and provincial mints across Asia Minor had barely adjusted their dies before his defeat at Antioch in June 218 ended the need entirely. Apamea Cibotus, a wealthy commercial hub on the Maeander road, was one of the few Phrygian cities that struck bronze for him at all.
The window for this issue was narrow enough that surviving examples are presumed to represent limited production runs, though no precise die studies for this type have established firm numbers.
