| Additional information |
Thyatira, a Lydian city better known to most readers as one of the Seven Churches addressed in Revelation, operated under the conventus system as a judicial and administrative satellite of Pergamum. Its civic bronze issues under Elagabalus were produced during one of Rome's more chaotic imperial transitions — the teenager from Emesa who had been elevated by the Syrian legions in 218 after Macrinus's defeat at Antioch. Local mints across Asia Minor continued striking without interruption; the change of emperor was, administratively, barely a disruption.
