Additional information

The years 175–177 bracket one of the more turbulent stretches of Marcus Aurelius's reign: the revolt of Avidius Cassius in Syria erupted in 175, likely triggered by a false report of the emperor's death, and Marcus spent much of the following two years touring the eastern provinces to stabilize loyalty. Civic bronzes struck at Miletus during this window were almost certainly produced in connection with that imperial progress — local magistrates commissioning large-module issues to mark, or solicit, an imperial visit. The magistrate name partially legible in the obverse legend, rendered here as ΦΛΑ? ΑΝΔΡΕΟΥ, remains only tentatively resolved in the literature.
