Æ36 - Marcus Aurelius ΕΠΙ ϹΤ ΜΥΤΙΛΗΝΑΙΩΝ

Mytilene's bronze output under Marcus Aurelius falls within the first years of his reign, before the Parthian War consumed imperial attention and reshuffled provincial priorities across the eastern conventus. The magistrate abbreviation ΕΠΙ ϹΤ points to a local strategos whose full name remains unresolved in the epigraphic record — a frustratingly common situation for Lesbian civic bronzes of this period, where the abbreviated titulature on the flan rarely survives cleanly enough to cross-reference with surviving inscriptions from the island.
