Æ25 - Macrinus ΠΡΟΥΣΑΕΩΝ

Macrinus ruled for just fourteen months before being defeated at the Battle of Antioch in 218 AD and executed shortly after — making any provincial bronze struck in his name among the shortest-lived imperial coinage types of the third century. Prusa ad Olympum, a Bithynian city nestled at the foot of Mount Olympus, maintained an active civic mint that issued bronzes under multiple emperors, but the window for Macrinus issues was brutally narrow.

Damnatio memoriae was not formally applied to Macrinus, yet his coins were not actively promoted by the succeeding Severan restoration under Elagabalus.
