While no decisive evidence exists for the location of the mint of the cistophori during the reigns of Vespasian through Trajan, the style, legends, and, in particular, the consistent die axis point to Rome, suggesting that these coins were minted in the capital and then sent to Asia for local use.

The Roman coinage of Attaleia is difficult to assign to specific reigns because the coins do not carry identifying inscriptions until the reign of Trajan.

This coin probably should be assigned to the reign of Nerva. Neokaisareia (AD 198-217) AE 31 - Geta523 viewsGeta, Caesar, 198-209 AD. AE31 (15.36g), dated CY 146 (209/210 AD).
