| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, draped bust of Diadumenian facing right, rendered in three-quarter front view. The youthful effigy displays short, finely rendered hair and a paludamentum over the left shoulder. A circular Greek legend surrounds the bust, naming the Caesar with his full titulature. The flan shows characteristic irregularity and surface wear consistent with a provincial bronze issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Docimeum's civic bronze issues under Macrinus occupy a narrow window — his reign lasted just over fourteen months before his defeat by Elagabalus's forces at the Battle of Antioch in June 218. The city sat in the heart of Phrygia, and its mint activity during this period reflects the scramble among provincial centers to acknowledge a new emperor who himself never visited the eastern provinces he nominally controlled.
The ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΩΝ ethnic in the legend points to the Macedonian colonial foundation the city claimed, a status jealously maintained in civic titulature for centuries after the original settlement.
