| Additional information |
Antioch's municipal bronze coinage under Hadrian operated under a licensing arrangement with Rome — the SC ("Senatus Consulto") formula appearing on civic bronzes from this mint reflects imperial oversight of local copper issues, a bureaucratic reality that numismatists still debate in terms of how tightly it was actually enforced. The theta control mark places this piece within a specific die grouping documented by McAlee, likely tied to administrative batches rather than calendar years.
