| Additional information |
Alabanda, a Carian city whose civic pride outlasted its political relevance by centuries, continued issuing bronze coinage well into the Antonine period through the authority of local magistrates — here, one Andronos, whose archonship provides the only datable anchor for this issue. The magistrate's name appearing in the nominative on the obverse and genitive on the reverse reflects a formulaic Carian convention, but Andronos himself appears in no other surviving epigraphic record from the city.
The conventus designation placed Alabanda as an administrative hub for Roman judicial circuits in Asia, which partly explains the sustained local bronze output under Antoninus Pius.
