| Additional information |
Kadios Rufos served as proconsul of Bithynia-Pontus under Claudius, and his name appearing on civic bronze confirms the province's practice of honoring the sitting Roman governor on local coinage — a form of institutional flattery that also documented administrative tenure with reasonable precision. The dating to 47–48 AD is derived almost entirely from the known proconsulship window, not from any internal die evidence.
