Æ34 - Hadrian ϹΤΡ Π ΚΟΡΝΗ ΚΟΡΝΟΥΤΟΥ ϹΑΡΔΙΑΝΩΝ

Sardis, once capital of the Lydian kingdom and seat of Croesus, retained ceremonial prestige under Roman rule as the leading city of its conventus — the judicial circuit that bore its name. The magistrate named in this issue, Kornelios Kornoutos, served as strategos, the civic office responsible for overseeing local coin production. These magistrate-signed bronzes were not imperial commissions but local civic issues, produced at Sardian expense to facilitate small-denomination exchange the imperial mint had no interest in supplying.

The reference III#2406A suggests this falls within a thinly documented subseries; specimens surface rarely enough that die links across the type remain poorly mapped.
