Æ27 - Marcus Aurelius Ε ϹΤΡΑ ΕΥΔΙΟΥ Β ΘΥΑΤΙΡΗΝ (Ν)

Thyatira, a Lydian city better known to most readers as one of the Seven Churches addressed in Revelation, was a working industrial town — its dyers, tanners, and bronze-smiths formed the backbone of its economy and its civic identity. This issue falls in the co-regency period when Commodus was elevated to full Augustus alongside his father Marcus Aurelius in 177 AD, a move that triggered a fresh wave of provincial coinage renegotiating civic honorifics. The magistrate name Eudios, serving in his second term (Β indicating a second strategia), is otherwise sparsely documented.
