| Additional information |
Gargara was a minor Aeolian coastal settlement whose civic coinage output was sparse enough that individual magistrates' names dominate the attribution record more than the city itself. The strategos named in this issue — Meidios, son of Maximou Rouphou — appears in only a handful of known specimens, making his tenure one of the few anchors for dating the city's Severan-era production at all.
The Conventus of Adramyteum grouped several such small communities under Roman judicial administration, and their bronze civic issues circulated locally rather than regionally.
