| Additional information |
Cyme was among the oldest Aeolian cities on the western Anatolian coast and retained its civic minting privileges well into the Severan period, though it was consistently overshadowed by Smyrna within the conventus administrative structure. The magistrate name preserved in this issue's legend — Tib. Ael. Alexandros — places it within a local elite family likely holding the strategia or grammateia, offices that carried the honor of appearing on civic bronze.
The second tenure designation (Β) confirms this was not his first term supervising the mint.
