Name

Eikadios

Magistrate in Smyrna/Ionia between c. AD 50 and 54.

His name (no title) appears on coins issued in the reign of Claudius – always in combination with the [Stephanophoros] Philistos. Besides pseudo-autonomous coins with the image of a bee the “imperial” obverses show the portraits of Claudius and his wife Agrippina or Britannicus, see D. O. A. Klose, Die Münzprägung von Smyrna in der römischen Kaiserzeit. AMuGS X (1987) pp. 67, 75, 129 (I series A) and pp. 221-224 (XXX-XXXI series A, AD 51-54); RPC I nos. 2475-2477 (strategos).
