| Aanvullende informatie |
Amisus on the Black Sea coast held a peculiar status among Pontic cities: it had been granted the title of "free city" (ἐλευθέρα) by Pompey following his reorganization of the region in 64 BC, a privilege it jealously advertised on its coinage for centuries. The civic era date ϹΜΕ — year 245 — counts from that Pompeian settlement, making the dating system itself a political statement repeated on every bronze struck in the city.
Caracalla's visit to the eastern provinces in 213–214 prompted a wave of civic bronze issues across Bithynia and Pontus, most cities eager to demonstrate loyalty during his progress.
