Æ20 - Caracalla ΕΠΙ ΔΙΟΓΕΝΟΥ ΑΡΧ Α ΤΟ Β ΒΑΓΗΝΩΝ

Bagis was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage under the Severan dynasty leaned heavily on the title of its magistrates — the archon formula appearing in the legend here pins this issue to a specific local official whose second term of office is explicitly recorded on the coin itself. Such precision was a matter of civic pride, not administrative necessity. The city's output was modest, and issues bearing the full archon-title-with-term notation are correspondingly scarce in reference collections.
