| Additional information |
Odessos, the Black Sea Greek colony on the western Pontic coast, maintained autonomous bronze coinage through much of the imperial period, striking civic issues under Roman oversight rather than from an imperial mint. Under Commodus — whose reign collapsed into megalomania and eventual assassination by palace conspiracy in 192 AD — provincial civic bronzes like this one continued circulating with little interruption, the local bureaucracy outlasting the emperor's catastrophic final years entirely intact.
