Æ25 - Septimius Severus ΕΠ ϹΤΡ ΦΛ ΠΑΠΙΩΝΟϹ ΥΠΑΙΠΗΝΩΝ

Hypaepa was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage depended almost entirely on the prestige of its magistrates to justify production runs. The strategos Flavius Papion named in the legend is otherwise unattested in the epigraphic record — his survival here, struck in bronze and circulated through a small inland market town, is effectively the only evidence he existed at all.
