Æ23 - Septimius Severus ΕΠΙ ΑΝΤΙΓ ΑΡ Α ΤΟ Β ΒΑΓΗ (Ω)

Bagis was a minor Lydian city in the Sardis conventus whose civic coinage under Septimius Severus is notable for its extreme rarity and the persistence of local magistrate names in the legends — the ΕΠΙ ΑΝΤΙΓ formula identifying the presiding official, here serving a second term (ΤΟ Β) as the governing magistrate over the issue. Provincial bronze of this city is so seldom encountered that even major reference collections hold few examples, and die linkages across the Bagietan series remain poorly documented.
