| Aanvullende informatie |
Lampsacus, positioned on the Asian shore of the Hellespont, was a city with deep Greek roots and a long history of civic coinage stretching back centuries before Roman rule. Under Severus Alexander, provincial mints across Mysia continued issuing bronze for local circulation, with magistrate names — here Primus — recorded on the dies as a form of civic accountability. The strategos or grammateus responsible for a given issue was named on the coin itself, making attribution to a specific administrative moment possible even two millennia later.
