| Additional information |
Laodicea ad Lycum was among the wealthiest cities in the Lycus valley during the Antonine period, its prosperity built on textile production — particularly a prized glossy black wool — and its position as the administrative seat of its conventus. The city's civic coinage under Antoninus Pius reflects a moment of genuine municipal confidence, with large-module bronzes like this one issued to assert local prestige rather than satisfy any pressing monetary need.
The magistrate name encoded in the obverse legend, Attalos, places this issue within a known sequence of Laodicean civic officials datable to the early 140s.
