The imperial portrait coinage from Miletus with title CEBACTOC cannot be precisely assigned to ruler. Some portraits resemble Nero, others Titus, Domitian and Trajan. The portrait on this coin looks much like Tiberius, but the lunate form of “Σ” (i.e., “C”) found on this coin was not in use at Miletus until the reign of Nero.

Stylistically, this drachm of Miletos seems to fall into Deppert-Lippitiz's period IV that was issued circa 259-246, but Deppert-Lippitz does not record any coins for this magistrate at this time. There are, however, several issues with the name ΒΙΩΝ throughout the remainder of the 3rd century and early part of the 2nd century BC.
