Acmonea was a minor Phrygian city with an outsized record of civic coinage under the Severan dynasty, likely leveraging its position along the road network of the Apamean conventus to maintain enough commercial activity to justify the issues. The city's coins from this reign are documented across multiple magistrate names, suggesting a genuine series rather than a single opportunistic strike.
Bronze provincial issues of Septimius Severus from interior Phrygia are frequently underrepresented in major collections, not from destruction but from the simple neglect of small-city Greek Imperial coinage in 19th-century collecting priorities.
