Æ22 - Severus Alexander ΕΦΕϹΙΩΝ

Ephesus retained the right to strike provincial bronze under Severus Alexander largely because of its status as the seat of the conventus juridicus — the Roman judicial circuit for Asia — making it one of the most administratively significant cities in the eastern empire. The city leveraged that standing aggressively in its coinage output during his reign, producing a notably broad range of denominations and types.

The VI#5003 reference places this within Burnett, Amandry, and Ripollès's framework for Asian provincials, though coverage of Ephesian bronzes in this size class remains uneven across standard references.
