| Additional information |
The Koinon of Lesbos — the island league centered on Mytilene — struck this large bronze during the co-reign of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus, a period when provincial mints across Asia Minor were unusually active, partly in response to the Parthian War of 161–166 and the triumphalism surrounding Verus's eastern campaigns. The magistrate name ΓΡΙΝΟϹ (Grinos) appears on a tight cluster of Lesbian civic bronzes from this window, suggesting a concentrated tenure rather than a long administrative run.
