Thyatira, a Lydian city better known to most readers from the Book of Revelation than from numismatic literature, was a major textile and dyeing center whose trade guilds wielded unusual civic influence during the Severan period. The city struck prolifically under Caracalla, and bronze issues of this module circulated primarily within the local market economy rather than reaching broader imperial channels.
The reference V.2#77213 places this within Völling's corpus — a catalog that remains the primary tool for sorting Thyatiran bronzes, which are frequently misattributed due to the city's repetitive epithet sequences across reigns.
