Cyme, by the mid-third century, was a city of modest political standing within the Smyrna conventus, and the decision to issue civic bronze under Gordian III likely reflects the brief administrative window that opened after the chaos of the Year of the Six Emperors in 238. The magistrate named in the legend — Flavius Menophantos — held the post of strategos, and his name appearing on the coin was a civic honor tied directly to his funding or supervising the issue.
The reference VII.1#271 places this within Walcher de Molthein's corpus of Aeolian civic bronzes. Cyme's output under Gordian is sparse, making dies shared across denominations worth examining closely.
