Æ23 - Severus Alexander ΑΡΠΑϹΗΝΩΝ

Harpasa was a minor Carian city whose civic coinage output under the Severan dynasty was modest enough that individual types are poorly represented in major collections. The conventus of Alabanda grouped several such secondary mints for administrative purposes, and coins attributable to Harpasa frequently go unattributed or misattributed in older literature precisely because the city's issues were never systematically catalogued until relatively recently.

The VI#5349 reference places this among a thin run of bronzes tied to Severus Alexander's thirteen-year reign — the longest of any Severan emperor after Septimius himself.
