| Additional information |
Mylasa, an ancient Carian city with a long tradition of civic coinage, struck bronzes under Severus Alexander that frequently honored his mother Julia Mamaea alongside the emperor — a pairing that reflects her extraordinary official prominence during his reign. She held the title Mater Augusti et Castrorum et Senatus et Patriae, an accumulation of honorifics without real precedent for an empress, and provincial mints across Asia Minor were quick to acknowledge her position explicitly on civic issues.
The conventus of Alabanda, under which Mylasa fell administratively, produced a relatively modest body of imperial-era bronzes. VI#5325 is among the better-documented pieces from this mint pairing the two names.
