| Additional information |
Abila of the Decapolis — ancient Seleucid foundation in what is now northwestern Jordan — retained the right to strike provincial bronze under Roman oversight, a privilege that persisted well into the Severan period. Caracalla's co-reign with Septimius Severus beginning in 198 AD provides the opening date for this type, though most Abilene issues of this ruler are thought to cluster around his sole reign after 211. Spijkerman's corpus of the coinage of the Decapolis remains the primary reference, compiled largely from die studies of poorly documented Palestinian and Transjordanian civic mints.
