| Additional information |
Diocaesarea — ancient Diocaesarea in Cilicia, modern Uzuncaburç — was a cult center of Zeus Olbios whose temple priesthood exercised autonomous civic authority well into the Roman imperial period. The city's honorific title ΜΗΤΡΟΠΟΛΙΣ, reflected in the legend, was a point of fierce civic pride and intermittent dispute with neighboring Olba. Philip I's reign (244–249 AD) saw a final flourish of provincial bronze production across Cilicia before the combined pressures of the Antonine currency reforms and mid-third-century instability effectively ended autonomous civic coinage in the region.
