| Additional information |
Dios Hieron was a minor civic mint in the Lydian interior whose bronze issues under Severus were tied directly to the emperor's eastern campaigns and the political realignment that followed the civil wars of 193 AD. Cities throughout the Ephesian conventus struck bronze locally to fill gaps left by the near-total absence of imperial bronze reaching inland Anatolia during this period. The community's full Greek ethnic, ΔΙΟϹΙΕΡΕΙΤΩΝ, appears on very few surviving specimens, making attribution to this specific polis historically more significant than the modest module suggests.
