| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Julia Domna facing right, her hair elaborately waved and coiled at the nape in the characteristic Severan style. The effigy is rendered in typical provincial Greek die-cutting, with folds of drapery visible at the truncation. The Greek legend encircles the bust in the field, identifying the empress by name and title. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ephesus held the title of metropolis of Asia and jealously guarded its minting privileges throughout the Severan period. The city's bronze coinage under Septimius Severus was issued by civic magistrates — not imperial decree — making the ΕΦΕϹΙΩΝ ethnic on the reverse a statement of municipal authority as much as origin. The mint was prolific, but smaller module pieces like this one circulated hard through a port city of perhaps 200,000 inhabitants.
V.2#201 places this squarely within Voegtli's classification of Ephesian civic bronzes, a series notorious for inconsistent flan preparation.
