| Additional information |
Perperene was a minor Aeolic settlement in the Troad whose civic coinage output was modest at best, and issues attributable to the Severan period are genuinely scarce in the record. The city's coins struck under Septimius Severus fall within the broader reorganization of the Pergamene conventus, the judicial district through which Rome administered the region's civic minting privileges.
V.2#1347 places this piece within Voegtli's classification of the type, a reference work that remains the primary tool for sorting the bewilderingly fragmented small-bronze output of these minor Asian mints.
