Æ34 - Marcus Aurelius ΕΠΙ ΜΕΝΑΝΔΡΟΥ ΑϹΚ ΑΡΧΟΝ ΤΟ Β ϹΥΝΑΕΙΤΩΝ

Synaus was a minor Phrygian city whose civic bronze issues from the Antonine period are distinguished almost entirely by their magistrate inscriptions. The archon named Menander served a second term — the ΤΟ Β making that explicit — a detail that places this coin within a narrow administrative window and gives it a prosopographical value well beyond what its modest fabric might suggest.

The Conventus of Sardis grouped dozens of small Phrygian and Lydian communities under a single Roman judicial circuit, and Synaus's coinage rights operated within that framework. Surviving examples from this magistracy are thinly documented in the major corpora.
