Stratonicea, situated in Caria, was a city proud enough of its religious status — it housed one of the most important sanctuaries of Zeus Chrysaoreus in the region — to maintain an active civic mint well into the Severan period. The magistrate name preserved in the legend, Flavius Leon, is known from a small cluster of civic bronzes, and the garbled ethnic ΑϹΝΑ for ϹΤΡΑΤΟΝΙΚΕΩΝ is not a die-cutter's casual error but appears consistently enough across the type to suggest it was copied from a flawed master die without correction.
