Æ30 - Marcus Aurelius ΔΟΚΙΜΕΩΝ ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΩΝ

Docimeum's civic coinage under Marcus Aurelius coincides with the co-emperorship of Lucius Verus, a constitutional arrangement that gave provincial mints considerable latitude in how they acknowledged imperial authority. The city's Macedonian ethnic claim — embedded in the ethnic ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΩΝ — reflects a colonization tradition the community fiercely maintained in its titulature centuries after any living connection to Macedonia had dissolved.

Docimeum was above all a quarry town; its white-and-purple pavonazzetto marble supplied imperial building projects across the Roman world, including Hadrian's Pantheon rebuilding program.
