Dios Hieron was a small Lydian settlement whose civic coinage under Elagabalus is exceptionally rare — the city issued bronze so infrequently that individual magistrate series can sometimes be counted in single-digit survivors. The strategos named in this inscription, M. Aurelius Artemас Kornēlianos, is otherwise unattested in the epigraphic record, making this coin one of the few documents of his existence at all.
Elagabalus's four-year reign generated enormous provincial output as eastern cities competed for imperial favor following his rise from the Syrian priesthood at Emesa.
