Nacrasa was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage depended entirely on the prestige of the Roman governor's name to circulate with any authority — the magistrate's title on this issue, partially illegible, likely belonged to one of the rotating strategos appointments that tied local bronze production to imperial favor. The "ΤΟ Β" indicates a second issue under this official, meaning at least two distinct emission sequences occurred during this brief window, probably timed to festival distributions or local cult obligations rather than commercial demand.
