| Additional information |
Apamea in Bithynia was refounded as a Roman colony under Julius Caesar or Augustus — sources differ — and its coins reflect that colonial identity with unusual consistency across the Severan period. Caracalla's co-reign with Septimius Severus from 198 AD places this issue in the earlier portion of the date range, when the imperial college still operated as a formal family unit before the murder of Geta in 211 collapsed it to a single ruler.
Colonial bronzes from Bithynian Apamea are modestly documented; V.2#70591 appears in limited die studies, and the city's output under Caracalla was never prolific.
