| Aanvullende informatie |
Otrus was a minor Phrygian city whose civic coinage under Septimius Severus frequently acknowledges the authority of the Asiarch — the presiding official of the imperial cult in Asia — as the magistrate responsible for the issue. The name preserved in the legend, Alexandros, identifies the local benefactor who funded or oversaw production, a common arrangement in which wealthy provincials underwrote civic bronze to advertise their status.
The garbled or variable spelling in the ethnic legend is well-documented across this series and likely reflects the limitations of local die-cutters rather than any institutional inconsistency.
