| Additional information |
Hypaepa was a small Lydian city in the Cayster River valley whose civic coinage under Septimius Severus reflects the intense competition among Asian cities for imperial favor during his reign. The magistrate name preserved in the legend — Kerinthios, serving as first strategos — anchors this piece within a documented sequence of local officials whose tenures numismatists have used to build a relative chronology for Hypaepan bronze issues of this period.
The conventus of Ephesus exercised administrative oversight of civic minting across the region, though production decisions and die-cutting remained locally controlled.
