| Aanvullende informatie |
The Koinon of Cyprus — the provincial assembly representing Cypriot cities collectively under Roman administration — held the unusual privilege of issuing its own bronze coinage, a concession that reflected both the island's wealth and Rome's administrative pragmatism in the eastern provinces. Under Caracalla, the Koinon struck extensively, likely timed around imperial cult observances at the sanctuary of Aphrodite at Paphos, which remained the religious and political focal point of the island's civic identity throughout the imperial period.
The V.3 reference places this within Vogt's classification of Cypriot provincial issues — a catalog notoriously difficult to work with given inconsistent die-linkage documentation.
