Æ27 - Septimius Severus ΙΟΥΛΙΟΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ

Iuliopolis occupied a strategically awkward position in inland Bithynia — small enough to be repeatedly overlooked in Roman administrative reshufflings, yet persistent enough to maintain civic coinage through the Severan period. The city's bronze issues under Septimius Severus are notably scarce in any collection, a reflection of modest mint output rather than heavy circulation loss.
