| Additional information |
Parium, a Roman colony on the southern Marmara coast, retained the right to strike local bronze under Septimius Severus as part of the broader administrative accommodation of established Greek colonies in the western provinces of Asia Minor. The colony's full titulature — Colonia Gemella Iulia Hadriana Pariana — reflects successive grants from Caesar, Augustus, and Hadrian, each layering new privileges onto an already ancient settlement that traced its Greek foundation back to Paros.
The Conventus of Adramyteum was one of the judicial districts through which Rome organized provincial Asia, and Parium's inclusion there placed it among a cluster of minting communities whose bronze output served hyper-local transactional needs rather than any wider circulation.
