Assarion - Augustus ΙΟΥΛΙΟΣ ΚΑΛΛΙΚΛΗΣ ΣΙΒΛΙΑΝΩΝ

Siblia was a small Phrygian settlement whose civic coinage output was sparse enough that the magistrate name ΙΟΥΛΙΟΣ ΚΑΛΛΙΚΛΗΣ — Julius Kalliklês — appears on only a narrow group of issues, all dateable to the early Augustan period. The Julian gentilicum strongly suggests a local family that had received Roman citizenship, likely through diplomatic contact during the provincial reorganization of Asia under Augustus. RPC I 3161 is attested across the SNG von Aulock range with minor die variation but no dramatic rarity within the type.
