| Additional information |
Ceretapa Diocaesarea was a small Phrygian city whose dual name reflects a merger of two separate settlement identities — Ceretapa and the honorific Diocaesarea, the latter a title granted by Rome that dozens of eastern cities competed to claim. The issue dates to the co-reign of Marcus Aurelius and Commodus, declared joint emperors in 177 AD, which is almost certainly why this bronze exists at all: civic mints across Asia Minor routinely struck new issues to mark imperial accessions and co-regencies, a form of institutional loyalty made in bronze.
