Die Homonoiaverträge in der römischen Kaiserzeit

Abstract

The bronze coins struck on behalf of the cities of Asia Minor give an impressive picture of the flourishing municipal life of the first three centuries: they name buildings, games and events of the day and give room to imperial propaganda as well. Striking is the large group of alliance coins which carry on the reverse the word homonoia and two city names in the genitive, usually together with the chief deity of each city side by side, sometimes two prize crowns or clasped hands. Some hundred such connections are known from more than seventy communities, mostly between two cities and twice between three. It is the more surprising that the character of this concord has hardly been clarified: one would wish to know in what it actually consisted.
