Æ26 - Severus Alexander ϹΤΕΚΤΟΡΗΝΩΝ

Stectorium was a minor Phrygian settlement whose civic coinage under Severus Alexander represents one of the more obscure outputs of the Apamean conventus — a judicial district that grouped dozens of small Anatolian communities under Roman provincial administration. These petty bronzes circulated hyperlocally, likely never traveling far beyond the immediate territory, used for small transactions at markets and sanctuaries rather than anything approaching regional commerce.

The spelling ϹΤΕΚΤΟΡΗΝΩΝ on this issue is the standard Greek genitive plural used by the community to assert civic identity — a reminder that even the smallest Phrygian town took its coinage seriously as a political act.
