| Additional information |
Siblia was a minor Phrygian settlement whose civic coinage under Septimius Severus is documented in only a handful of types, nearly all naming local magistrates — here Menodotos and Ailiane of the Seiblianos, likely a husband-and-wife pair holding a joint liturgical office. This practice of dual eponymous magistracies, common in small Asian conventus cities, placed the financial and religious burden of coinage production directly on wealthy local families rather than civic funds.
The conventus of Apamea administered a sprawling network of such communities, most of which struck bronze only sporadically.
