| Additional information |
Midaeum was a minor Phrygian city whose civic coinage under the Flavians leaned heavily on local religious identity — Demeter held particular cultic significance in the region, and the epithet ΣΕΒΑΣΤΗ ("Augusta") applied to her here was a deliberate fusion of imperial loyalty with indigenous worship. The convention of attaching the imperial honorific to a deity rather than the emperor himself was common in the Synnada conventus but gives these bronzes an unusually theological flavor among provincial issues.
The reference II#1415B suggests a Waddington corpus entry, placing this among a small documented group. Midaeum's output was limited enough that most types survive in only a handful of specimens.
