| Additional information |
Odessos, a Thracian coastal city on the Black Sea, retained the right to strike local bronze under Roman provincial authority — coins that served purely internal needs and rarely traveled far. Commodus's reign ended with his assassination on 31 December 192 AD, organized by members of his own household after the senate declared him an enemy of the state. Provincial mints like Odessos continued striking through the full reign with little interruption, indifferent to the political turbulence in Rome.
