Æ23 - Septimius Severus ΚΑΔΟΗΝΩΝ, ΕΡΜΟϹ

Cadi was a small Phrygian city in the conventus of Sardis whose civic coinage under Septimius Severus forms one of the more obscure provincial series. The reverse type invoking the river god Hermos reflects the city's position in the broader Hermos valley drainage, a geographic identity that Phrygian and Lydian border communities frequently asserted through coin imagery to align themselves with more prestigious regional centers.

V.2#996 is sparsely documented, and surviving specimens are rarely encountered in trade.
