| Additional information |
Hadrianeia, a city in Mysia founded by Hadrian himself in the early second century, retained strong imperial loyalties well into the Severan period — which likely explains the eagerness with which local magistrates attached their names to provincial bronze issues under Septimius Severus. The magistrate name preserved in the legend, Menophanes Timokr(ates), is one of a small number of named officials documented for this city, making die-linked examples useful for sequencing the local coinage chronology.
The designation ΑΡΧ Α indicates a first archonship, a distinction the magistrate apparently considered worth recording in metal.
