Additional information

Pompeiopolis was founded by Pompey the Great in 64 BC following his campaigns against the Cilician pirates, and the city retained pride in that origin for centuries — the civic era dating system used on this coin counts from that foundation event. The ϚΤ ΑϚ in the legend marks regnal and civic year coordination, a dating practice that allows this issue to be pinned unusually precisely within Gordian III's short reign.
