Additional information

Thyatira, a Lydian city on the road between Pergamum and Sardis, was one of the most commercially active mints in the Pergamene conventus — known especially for its guild activity and the dyeing trades that made the city wealthy. Under Elagabalus, civic bronze continued to be struck across Asia Minor despite the emperor's increasingly destabilizing reign in Rome, where his religious provocations and erratic behavior consumed the court until his murder by the Praetorian Guard in 222 AD at age eighteen.
