Æ31 - Hadrian ΚΛΑΖΟΜ ΕΠΙ ϹΤΡ ΚΛ ΘΕΜΙϹΤΟΚΛ

Clazomenae, the Ionian city on a peninsula jutting into the Gulf of Smyrna, was birthplace of Anaxagoras — a fact its civic coinage occasionally exploited for prestige. Under Hadrian, provincial bronzes like this one were authorized at the local level, with the strategos named in the legend bearing administrative responsibility for the issue. Klaudios Themistokles, named here, represents the Romanized civic elite that managed such commissions.

The conventus of Smyrna administered a sprawling collection of Ionian and Lydian communities, each competing for imperial favor during Hadrian's extensive eastern travels of 123–124 AD.
