This medallion commemorates the renewal of the city’s neocorate, first instituted under Commodus between AD 185 and 189. The neocorate was a position bestowed by the Senate to certain worthy cities of Asia Minor to establish and maintain the imperial cult there. The honor and prestige of this distinction was of great benefit to the city involved and created a reciprocal association between Rome and important provincial urban centers. The medallions struck under the authority of Pigres are specific in their reverse designs, indicating Caracalla’s presence in the city at the time, when he visited the temple associated with the cult and participated in the dedication ceremonies. The funds raised from these medallions helped to finance Caracalla’s advance across Asia Minor towards the Parthians.
