| Additional information |
Hypaepa was a small Lydian city whose civic coinage under Gordian III survives in frustratingly low numbers, partly because the city's output was never large and partly because the Cayster valley, where it sat, was not a major hub of coin recycling or hoarding. The strategos named in the legend — Aelius Ant. Taeta — is otherwise virtually unattested in the epigraphic record, making this issue one of the few surviving traces of his magistracy.
