Æ22 - Septimius Severus ΑΠΟΛΛΩΝΙΕΡΙΤ

Apollonoshieron was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage under Septimius Severus reflects the broader pattern of provincial mints leveraging the dynastic transition of 193 AD — the Year of the Five Emperors — to reassert local minting activity. Cities across the Sardis conventus resumed or expanded bronze production once Severus consolidated power, partly as a practical response to coin shortages during the civil wars against Pescennius Niger and Clodius Albinus.

The city's Greek ethnic legend ΑΠΟΛΛΩΝΙΕΡΙΤ is an abbreviated form attested in only a handful of die pairings recorded for this reign.
