Æ23 - Severus Alexander ΑΚΡΑϹΙΩΤΩΝ

Acrasus was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage under Severus Alexander represents one of the more obscure provincial series from the Pergamene conventus. The city held the right to strike bronze issues through the emperor's reign but left almost no literary trace — what survives is largely numismatic. RPC and related corpora record very few specimens for most Acrasus types, making individual die studies difficult and provenance chains correspondingly short.

The conventus of Pergamum administered a broad swath of western Anatolia, and civic mints within it varied enormously in output volume. Acrasus sits at the low end.
