| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of the personified Senate (ϹΥΝΚΛΗΤΟϹ) facing right, depicted with a turreted or laureate head, rendered in the typical provincial idiom of Asia Minor. The portrait is stylized rather than individualized, conveying the collective dignity of the Roman Senate as an honorific type. A dotted border encircles the design. The Greek legend ΙΕΡΑ ϹΥΝΚΛΗΤΟϹ ('Sacred Senate') runs around the periphery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Aphrodisias enjoyed an unusually privileged relationship with Rome, having received a formal grant of freedom and tax immunity — confirmed repeatedly by successive emperors — partly due to the city's fierce propagandistic attachment to the goddess from whom it took its name and whose divine lineage Julius Caesar had claimed. Civic coinage under Septimius Severus continued a long local tradition of asserting that status through bronze issues circulated within the conventus.
The Alabanda conventus was one of the judicial districts through which Roman administration organized Asia Minor, and coins like this one functioned primarily in local market exchange rather than in any broader imperial economy.
