| Additional information |
Apollonia ad Rhyndacum, a small Bithynian city on the lake of the same name, struck civic bronze only sporadically under the Antonines, making issues from this precise early Commodan window uncommon. The years 180–182 correspond to the very opening of Commodus's sole reign following the death of Marcus Aurelius — a period when provincial mints across the Cyzicus conventus were producing fresh civic issues, likely in connection with loyalty demonstrations to the new emperor.
The ethnic ΑΠΟΛΛΩΝΙΑΤΩΝ with the qualifier ΠΡΟϹ ΡΥΝΔΑ distinguishes this city from the more prominent Apollonia ad Rhyndacum attributions that occasionally surface without that geographic clarifier, a detail that matters for die-study purposes.
