Æ17 - Macrinus ΠΡΟΥϹΙΕΩΝ ΠΡΟϹ ΥΠΙΩ

Macrinus ruled for just fourteen months before being defeated at the Battle of Antioch in June 218 and executed shortly after — making any provincial bronze struck in his name a product of an exceptionally compressed window. Prusias ad Hypium, the Bithynian city on the Hypius river, was among the provincial mints that dutifully struck in his name during that brief interval, likely before news of his fall reached the region.
