Public Commentary

RPC 10148: SNG 1319 = Kraft, pl. 89, no. 26 = Schwertheim 45, pl. XIII.52, all under 'Miletopolis'; heavily tooled, obverse legend altered to fit Commodus: ΑΥ ΚΑΙ Λ ΑΥΡΗΛΙ ΚΟΜΜΟΔΟС, reverse legend modified to fit Miletopolis and its 'magistrate' Eutyches Alexandrou: ΕΥΤΥΧΟΥΣ ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ ΜΕΙΛΗΤΟΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ. Kraft, pp. 60–1, pl. 89.26 wrongly used this coin as evidence that towards the end of Commodus' reign Miletopolis was supplied by the workshop »Pergamon«.
