Æ34 - Antoninus Pius ΕΠΙ ΠΑΙΤΟΥ ΓΡΑΜΜΑΤΕΟ (sic) ΚΥΖΙΚΟϹ ΕΦΕϹΟϹ ΟΜΟΝΟΙΑ

This homonoia issue documents a formal alliance between Ephesus and Cyzicus, two of the wealthiest cities in Roman Asia Minor, struck early in Antoninus Pius's reign when civic rivalry in the province was intense enough that emperors and governors regularly mediated disputes over precedence and title. The inscription names a grammateus — a civic secretary — as the issuing magistrate, though the spelling error preserved in the legend (ΠΑΙΤΟΥ for the expected form) suggests either a die-cutter working from a poorly transcribed draft or a non-Greek speaker cutting the dies.
