| Additional information |
Nacrasa was a minor Lydian city of little political weight, which makes the magistrate credit on this issue — citing a second term of office for the strategos Pardala Menophi — unusually informative. The "ΤΟ Β" formula, denoting a second tenure, appears on relatively few provincial bronzes and suggests this official held enough local standing to secure re-election during the co-rule of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus, a period when civic minting across the Pergamene conventus was particularly active.
