Additional information

Hadriani ad Olympum was a city Hadrian effectively created from scratch, elevating a minor settlement at the foot of Mount Olympus in Mysia and granting it his name. The abbreviation ΙΝΟΥ ΑΡΧ in the legend denotes a local magistrate — the ineuo archos — whose name anchors this piece to a specific administrative moment in the city's earliest decades, when newly founded Hadrianic communities across Asia Minor were minting civic bronzes partly to assert their chartered status.

The city fell under the conventus of Adramyteum, one of the judicial assize districts Rome used to administer provincial affairs. Coins from Hadriani ad Olympum are thinly documented, and III#1608 is among the few die-linked references for the type.
