| Additional information |
Apollonoshieron was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage depended almost entirely on the prestige of local magistrates and priests to lend authority to its issues. The inscription naming Flavia Nymphidia as priestess is unusually prominent for a civic bronze of this size — female priestly titles appear in the Sardis conventus, but Nymphidia's name surviving on a struck piece from this otherwise poorly documented city makes it a genuinely uncommon administrative record.
