Æ23 - Severus Alexander ΤΡΙΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ

Tripolis in Lydia — not to be confused with the North African city — sat in the upper Maeander valley and issued civic bronzes sporadically under the Severan dynasty. The city's coinage under Severus Alexander belongs to a broader surge in provincial mint activity that followed his accession in 222, when newly stable imperial governance briefly encouraged civic pride and local euergetism across western Anatolia.

The ethnic ΤΡΙΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ distinguishes this issue from neighboring Lydian mints whose legends can create attribution confusion in worn specimens.
