Æ12 - Pseudo-Autonomous ΒΕΡΟΙΑ

Beroea, the Macedonian city known today as Veria, issued pseudo-autonomous bronzes of this type during the Antonine period — coins struck without imperial portraiture, presenting the city as an independent civic authority even while firmly within the Roman provincial framework. The practice was common across Greek-speaking cities of Macedonia and Thrace during the 2nd century, reflecting a negotiated civic pride rather than any genuine political autonomy.

At 1.45g, this is among the lighter survivors of the type, consistent with irregular flan preparation typical of small Beroean civic issues.
