| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust of Diadumenian as Caesar facing right, viewed from behind, with paludamentum visible over the left shoulder. The effigy is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Phrygian civic coinage. A Greek legend encircles the bust within the field, identifying the Caesar by name and title. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Macrinus seized power in May 217 AD after orchestrating — or at least permitting — the assassination of Caracalla, becoming the first emperor never to have held the Roman senate's formal approval before accession. His reign lasted just fourteen months before Elagabalus, backed by the legions of Syria, defeated him at the Battle of Antioch. Apamea Cibotus, a prosperous Phrygian city on the Maeander river, struck prolifically under numerous emperors, but issues under Macrinus are sharply constrained by that compressed window.
The ΑΠΑΜΕΩΝ ethnic confirms civic pride in the city's identity — Apamea had long maintained strong trade connections along the Anatolian interior routes.
