| Additional information |
Amorium was a Phrygian city of middling administrative rank, subordinate to the conventus center at Synnada, and its civic bronze issues under Septimius Severus are accordingly scarce — small cities in secondary conventus districts struck irregularly, often in response to specific local festivals or imperial visits rather than any sustained civic minting program. The magistrate name preserved in the legend, Antonios Ioukon, anchors this piece to a specific local office-holder otherwise unattested in the literary record.
