Mytilene, the principal city of Lesbos, struck provincial bronze under the governor Dionysios during the co-reign of Marcus Aurelius and Commodus — the magistrate's name rendered in the nominative as strategos, the office through which Rome administered civic coinage in the Pergamene conventus. Issues of this precise magistracy are documented in relatively small numbers, suggesting a limited civic emission rather than a sustained production run.
