| Additional information |
Dora (modern Dor, on the Carmel coast) was a Phoenician city that retained exceptional minting autonomy under Rome, issuing dated civic bronzes using the Pompeian era — year 128 of which corresponds to 64–65 AD, the precise period of Nero's massive financial restructuring that debased the silver denarius and reduced the weight standard of the aes coinage empire-wide. That Dora continued producing its own civic bronze at this moment reflects the negotiated privileges Rome extended to compliant coastal cities.
Meshorer 17 is among the scarcer of the Doran Neronian issues by surviving count.
