| Additional information |
Antioch ad Maeandrum was a minor Carian city whose coin output during the imperial period was modest and administratively tied to the Alabanda conventus. Issues under Gallienus's sole reign — after Valerian's capture by Shapur I at the Battle of Edessa in 260 — represent a politically charged moment: civic bronzes continued to be struck even as the empire fractured into the Gallic and Palmyrene breakaway states. The misspelling of ΚΑΠΙΤΩΛΙ as ΚΑΠΙΤΟΛΛΙ on this type is not a die engraver's careless slip but a documented orthographic variant consistent with the workshop's output.
