| Additional information |
Apamea in Phrygia was a Roman colony — one of the few in the eastern provinces — and its civic coinage under Caligula reflects that status directly. The city held the unusual privilege of issuing bronze in the emperor's name through local magistrates, a right exercised here in the first year of Caligula's reign. RPC I 2012 is documented from a small number of dies, and surviving specimens are scarce enough that the type rarely appears on the open market.
