| Additional information |
Hadrianopolis in Phrygia — not to be confused with the more famous Thracian city of the same name — was a minor civic mint that periodically named local magistrates on its coinage, as this piece does with Aurelios Kallikratos. The practice of inscribing the archon's name was a point of civic pride rather than administrative necessity, and the tenure of any given magistrate makes precise dating within Caracalla's long co-reign and sole reign nearly impossible to pin down further.
