| Additional information |
Hadrianopolis in Phrygia — not to be confused with the more famous Thracian city — was a minor civic mint whose output under Severus Alexander depended entirely on the initiative of local magistrates. The abbreviated legend ΕΠΙ Χ ΜΗΝΟΦΙΛ ΑΔΡΙΑΝΟ names the presiding official, almost certainly a strategos or grammateus whose full name began with chi — an unusual truncation that suggests either a die-cutter working under space constraints or a name too long for the flan.
