Didrachm

Sagalassos was among the most politically agile cities in Pisidia during Rome's reorganization of Anatolia following Actium. The city had backed the winning side consistently enough that Augustus confirmed its civic privileges early, and local silver issues of this transitional period reflect a municipality still operating under Hellenistic monetary conventions while Roman provincial structures were only beginning to solidify. The didrachm weight standard here belongs firmly to the old Attic-derived coinage rather than anything Rome imposed.
