Aureliopolis — formerly Tmolus, renamed in honor of Marcus Aurelius — was a small Lydian city whose civic coinage under Commodus is exceptionally rare, with only a handful of magistrate-attributed issues recorded. The strategos named in this coin's legend, Apollonides, appears in no other surviving documentary source; his entire administrative existence is known solely through bronzes like this one.
