| Additional information |
Clazomenae, one of the twelve Ionian cities on the Aegean coast, had been physically relocated onto an island by Alexander the Great — connected to the mainland by a causeway he ordered built. By Caracalla's reign, the city's civic pride ran through its coinage, with local magistrates like Aurelius Herakleides named prominently as a mark of municipal autonomy within the Smyrna conventus. The strategos title attached to Herakleides places administrative responsibility for this issue squarely on his office.
V.2#517 is a catalogued rarity within the Clazomenian civic series.
