| Additional information |
Temnus was a small Aeolian city in the Hermus valley, historically overshadowed by its larger neighbors and rarely the subject of imperial attention. That a local magistrate — Agnus, named in the Greek obverse legend — issued bronze coinage explicitly honoring Julia Titi, daughter of Vespasian and consort of Domitian, places this piece within the very narrow window of her formal recognition before her death around 91 AD. Provincial civic bronzes honoring her are scarce; Temnus produced this type almost certainly to signal loyalty during Titus's brief reign, when her status was at its peak.
