| Additional information |
Thyatira, a Lydian city better known from its textile and dyeing guilds than its coinage, produced civic bronzes throughout the Severan period under the authority of the Pergamene conventus. Elagabalus's reign — ended by his own Praetorian Guard in 222 — generated considerable provincial mint activity, partly driven by the new emperor's aggressive self-promotion across the eastern cities where his Syrian priestly cult carried some native resonance.
VI#4323 is a relatively scarce attribution within the Thyatiran civic series for this reign.
