Æ25 - Septimius Severus ΑΜΟΡΙΑΝΩΝ

Amorium sat in the interior of Phrygia, well removed from the major administrative centers of Asia Minor, and its civic coinage under Septimius Severus reflects the modest output typical of smaller conventus towns during his reign. The city's coins from this period are rarely encountered, and when they do appear, the bronzes almost invariably show heavy wear from prolonged local circulation — the limited economic reach of inland Phrygian markets meant these coins stayed close to home and changed hands often.
