Æ26 - Commodus ΘΥΑΤΕΙΡΗΝΩΝ

Thyatira occupied an unusual position among Lydian cities — prosperous enough to mint regularly under Commodus, but rarely issuing coins of exceptional artistic ambition. The city's economy ran heavily on textile dyeing and wool trade, industries documented in guild inscriptions that survive from roughly this same period. Coins from the Pergamene conventus under Commodus cluster tightly between his assumption of the title Germanicus in 172 and his murder in 192, and the 184–187 window likely reflects a specific civic magistracy cycle rather than any imperial event.
