Æ14 - Septimius Severus ΑΚΡΑϹΙΩΤΩΝ

Acrasus was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage under Septimius Severus was modest in both volume and ambition — this small bronze sits at the bottom of the denomination ladder for the series. The conventus of Pergamum administered a vast swathe of western Anatolia, and local mints like Acrasus operated with considerable autonomy in their bronze issues, answering to no central imperial die authority.

At 1.60g, this piece was likely struck toward the end of the reign, when civic bronze across the conventus tended to diminish in flan weight.
