Æ33 - Marcus Aurelius ϹΤΡ ΚΛ ΒΑΛΕΡΙΑΝ ΒΛΑΥΝΔΕΩΝ ΜΑ (Δ with long serifs)

Blaundus was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage depended entirely on the goodwill of Roman provincial administration — issues naming a local magistrate, as this one does with Valerius Valerianos, required formal sanction and represent rare windows into the city's otherwise sparsely documented civic life. The abbreviated magistrate formula ϹΤΡ ΚΛ ΒΑΛΕΡΙΑΝ points to a strategos, the annually appointed civic official responsible for overseeing the mint.

The dating to 166–169 places this squarely within the Antonine Plague years, when Lucius Verus's armies returned from the Parthian campaign carrying a pandemic that devastated urban populations across Anatolia.
