Æ29 - Commodus ΕΠΙ ϹΤΡΑ ΜΟϹϹΧ (sic) Β ΝΕ ΟΜΟΝΟΙ ΦΩΚΑΙΕΩΝ ΛΑΜΨΑ

The garbled strategus abbreviation — ΕΠΙ ϹΤΡΑ ΜΟϹϹΧ, a clear engraver's corruption — points to a provincial die-cutter working under pressure or from dictation rather than a written template. Homonoia issues between Phocaea and Lampsacus were diplomatic instruments, formally advertising civic friendship between two cities with no obvious geographic proximity, likely brokered through the network of Roman provincial administration under the Conventus of Smyrna. Lampsacus sat on the Hellespont; Phocaea on the Aegean coast of Ionia. What trade or political arrangement prompted the alliance is unrecorded.
