Tralles, a prosperous city in the Maeander valley of Lydia, held neokorate status — the honor of maintaining an imperial cult temple — and advertised it aggressively on civic bronze throughout the Severan period. The magistrate named in this issue, M. Aur. Glaukias, appears on a small cluster of coins from the reign of Severus Alexander, suggesting a relatively brief term during the early 220s. Provincial civic bronzes of this size from the Ephesian conventus were struck for local distribution and rarely traveled far; survivors tend to show heavy oxidation consistent with burial in the alluvial soils of the Maeander plain.
