Æ34 - Marcus Aurelius ΑΠΟΛΛΩΝΙΑΤΩΝ ΠΡΟϹ ΡΥΝΔΑΚΩ

Apollonia ad Rhyndacum sits in the Mysian interior, and its civic coinage under Marcus Aurelius reflects the administrative reorganization that followed his accession in 161 — the same year he and Lucius Verus became co-emperors, the first time Rome had operated under two equal Augusti simultaneously. Provincial mints in the Cyzicus conventus responded quickly to the new reign, often issuing within the first regnal year to signal loyalty. This piece is consistent with that pattern.
