Æ18 - Septimius Severus ΜΙΛΗΤΟΠΟΛΙΤΩΝ

Miletopolis was a minor Mysian city whose civic coinage output was sparse and chronologically compressed, making any survivor statistically uncommon. This issue falls within the period of Septimius Severus's eastern campaigns and dynastic consolidation — following his defeat of Pescennius Niger in 194 and the brutal sack of Byzantium — when provincial mints across the Conventus of Cyzicus briefly intensified production, likely tied to the circulation demands of troop movements through Asia Minor.
