| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, portrayed with characteristic full beard and idealized imperial features. The laurel wreath is rendered in low relief across the crown of the head. A paludamentum or drapery is visible at the truncation of the shoulder. The encircling Greek legend runs around the periphery of the flan. The style is consistent with provincial Lydian civic coinage of the Antonine period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Briula was a minor Lydian polis of limited political weight, and its civic bronze output under Antoninus Pius reflects exactly that — a small, infrequent series struck more to assert municipal identity than to serve any serious monetary function. The city's name appears in few literary sources, and its precise location in the Hermus valley region remains only approximately fixed by modern scholarship.
Provincial bronzes from obscure Lydian centers were not struck on imperial command but required local initiative and expense, meaning the civic magistrate whose name sometimes appears on these coins personally underwrote the issue.
