| Additional information |
Parium, a Roman colony on the southern Marmara coast, retained its colonial minting privileges through the Severan period largely because of its strategic position on the sea route between the Aegean and the Black Sea. The city's coins consistently used Latin legends long after neighboring Greek cities had abandoned them — a deliberate marker of colonial status and Roman identity that the local elite evidently found worth maintaining.
The colonial abbreviation C G I H PA renders as Colonia Gemella Iulia Hadriana Pariana, accumulating imperial epithets across generations of honorific grants.
