Æ17 - Commodus ΘΥΑΤΕΙΡΗΝ (Ν)

Thyatira, a Lydian city better known to most readers from the Book of Revelation than from numismatic literature, was a significant manufacturing hub whose bronze coinage circulated locally throughout the Pergamene conventus. The dating to 184–187 AD places this piece within Commodus's sole reign following the death of Marcus Aurelius, a period when civic mints across Asia Minor continued producing small bronzes largely independent of the political turbulence unfolding in Rome.

The ethnic ΘΥΑΤΕΙΡΗΝ with the characteristic movable nu is a known orthographic feature of the city's coinage and helps anchor attributions within the series.
