| Additional information |
Bria was a minor Phrygian civic center within the Apamean conventus — the judicial district centered on Apamea Cibotus — whose coins are rare enough that the city itself remains poorly understood geographically. Septimius Severus's provincial bronze issues from Phrygia proliferated partly because the civil wars of 193–197 against Pescennius Niger and Clodius Albinus required the new emperor to cultivate loyalty across Asia Minor, and local civic coinage was one mechanism by which that relationship was expressed.
