SYNNADA
Synnada is said to have been founded by Acamas who went to Phrygia after the Trojan war and took some Macedonian colonists. The consul Manlius Vulso passed through that city on his expeditions against the Galatians. It was situated in the south-eastern part of Eastern Phrygia. After having belonged to the kingdom of the Attali, it became the capital of a district of the province of Asia, except on two occasions during the last century of the Republic when it was temporarily attached to Cilicia. Under these two regimes Synnada was the centre of an important conventus juridicus, or judicial centre; it was to preside at this assembly that Cicero stopped at Synnada on his way from Ephesus to Cilicia and on his return. Although small, the city was celebrated throughout the empire on account of the trade in marble which came from the quarries of the neighbouring city of Dacimium. Under Diocletian at the time of the creation of Phrygia Pacatiana, Synnada, at the intersection of two great roads, became the metropolis. On its coins, which disappear after the reign of Gallienus, its inhabitants call themselves Dorians and Ionians. Its site is now occupied by the modern Turkish town of Şuhut, in Afyonkarahisar Province.
Again a problem deciding between Augustus and Tiberius with SEBASTOS , and a difference of opinion between RPC and BMC. The latter suggests the coins signed Klaudios Valerianos and Krassos are Augustus, but as RPC states it is more likely to be Tiberius because the magistrates names are in the genitive, whereas the nominative were normal down to the reign of Augustus. A tentitive arguement indeed and one I find it hard to go along with since the portrait on the Krassos issue to me is Augustus so I have included a issue of Somenes with lituus and the issue of Krassos( RPC 3183)
