Laodicea ad Lycum, Phrygia, c. 62 A.D.
|Laodicea| |ad| |Lycus|, |Laodicea| |ad| |Lycum,| |Phrygia,| |c.| |62| |A.D.|, This magistrate, Ioulios Andronikos, struck larger a imperial denomination for Emperor Nero, and smaller "pseudo-autonomous" denominations for Demos (male) and the Boule of Laodicea (male). At the same time, another magistrate, Ioulia Zenonis (female), struck smaller imperial coins for Empress Poppaea (Nero's wife), and smaller "pseudo-autonomous" for the personification of Laodicea (female). Ioulios Andronikos and Ioulia Zenonis may have been husband and wife. Female magistrates were unusual in the ancient Greek world but Ioulia Zenonis was a member of the Zenonid family, which was long powerful in Laodicea.
