| Additional information |
Odessos, the Greek colonial city on the Black Sea coast in Lower Moesia, issued prolifically under Gordian III, and the Ε on this piece denotes a denomination within the city's own internal bronze hierarchy — a local accounting system scholars still debate in its precise equivalencies. The city enjoyed considerable autonomy in its civic coinage during the Severan and subsequent periods, financing local religious and civic life independently of imperial mint output.
