| Additional information |
Acrasus was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage depended entirely on the prestige of its magistrates to carry weight — literally so here, with the named strategos Aurelius Philodemus taking the senior eponymous position reflected in the legend. The designation "Β" likely marks his second term in office, a detail that helps anchor this issue within the broader sequence of Acrasan civic bronzes, which are poorly represented in major collections and almost never appear in pairs or runs that would allow firm chronological ordering.
