Æ40 - Marcus Aurelius Ε ΚΛ ΦΙΛΟΚΛΕΩ ΚΙΒΥΡΑΤΩΝ ΚΑΙ ΙΕΡΑΠΟΛΙΤΩΝ ΟΜΟΝΟΙΑ

The Homonoia coinage of Cibyra and Hierapolis Phrygia represents a formal declaration of civic concord between two neighboring cities — a political relationship expressed through shared coinage issues rather than treaty documents. These joint emissions were common in Asia Minor under the Antonines, where cities competed aggressively for Roman imperial favor and used homonoia coins as public proof of regional stability and cooperation. Cibyra, though technically the senior partner as a conventus seat, shared the obverse honors with Hierapolis in a deliberate gesture of equality.
