Æ16 - Commodus ΘΥΑΤΕΙΡΗΝΩΝ

Thyatira, a Lydian city under Roman provincial administration, was among the most commercially active mints in the Pergamene conventus, producing a steady stream of civic bronze throughout the second century. Its coins were not prestige issues but working currency for a city known primarily for its trade guilds — dyers, tanners, bronze-smiths — the same guilds mentioned pointedly in the letters of Revelation.

The dating to 184–192 places this squarely within the period following Commodus's break with the Senate and his increasingly erratic self-identification with Hercules, though provincial bronzes of this conventus reflect little of that turbulence.
