Æ17 - Commodus C G I H P

Parion, a Roman colony on the Propontis coast, retained exceptional autonomy in civic coinage well into the Severan period — its issues under Commodus fall in the final, increasingly erratic years of a reign defined by the emperor's self-identification as the reincarnation of Hercules. By 191–192, the Senate was openly hostile and palace conspiracies were multiplying; Commodus was strangled on New Year's Eve, 192 AD. Provincial bronzes from this precise window are scarce, as mint activity at Parion was intermittent rather than continuous.
