| Additional information |
Dionysopolis in Phrygia — not to be confused with the better-known Dionysopolis on the Black Sea coast — was a minor civic mint operating under the conventus of Apamea, one of the judicial assize districts Rome used to administer Asia Minor. These small Phrygian bronzes were produced at the city's own expense and authority, a privilege Rome extended selectively to loyal municipia. The Meander River, referenced in the ethnic legend, defined the geographic and economic spine of this entire region.
