| Additional information |
Cadi was a small Phrygian city in the Sardis conventus whose civic bronze coinage under Trebonianus Gallus is rare enough that individual magistrates' names — here Aurelius Charidemos, serving as archon for the second time — appear in the references as distinguishing identifiers rather than incidental detail. The designation ΤΟ Β confirms a second term, a reappointment that was neither automatic nor common, and suggests Charidemos held real local standing during a reign defined largely by plague and military instability on Rome's frontiers.
