| Additional information |
Parium's colonial coinage of the mid-first century BC reflects the city's status as a Roman colony of considerable antiquity — among the oldest in the eastern provinces — refounded and reorganized under Caesar's settlement programs following the civil wars. The quattuorviri identified in the legend were the senior magistrates of the colonial administration, a board of four responsible for local governance, and their appearance on coinage signals a moment of institutional consolidation rather than routine issue.
The quinquennales designation marks these magistrates as holding the census year appointment, elected every five years with expanded powers.
