| Additional information |
Iulia Gordus was a small Lydian city whose civic coinage depended entirely on the goodwill of the Roman provincial administration — the dual ethnic legend ΓΟΡΔΗΝΩΝ ΙΟΥΛΙΕΩΝ reflects the community's dual identity, acknowledging both the older Gordian population and the Iulian colonial element likely settled under Julius Caesar or Augustus. Coins struck under Septimius Severus from this mint are scarce; the city was not prolific, and surviving examples tend to cluster in a narrow range of types attributable to just a handful of working dies.
