Æ32 - Gordian III ΠΟΜΠΗΙΟΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ ϚΤ ΑϚ

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.
