Æ16 - Septimius Severus ΥΠΑΙΠΗΝΩΝ

Hypaepa was a small Lydian city in the Cayster River valley, dependent on Ephesus as its conventus capital for judicial and administrative purposes. Its civic bronze coinage under Septimius Severus is scarce, reflecting the modest output expected of a minor provincial center that lacked the commercial weight of its neighbors along the western Anatolian coast.

At 2.39g, this falls at the lighter end of documented specimens for the type.
