| Additional information |
Thyatira, a Lydian city better known to biblical scholars as one of the Seven Churches addressed in Revelation, was during Trajan's reign a prosperous center of trade guilds — particularly dyers, whose work with purple and madder gave the city much of its commercial identity. Civic bronze issues like this one were produced locally under the authority of the provincial conventus at Pergamum, which held jurisdiction over the region's administrative and judicial affairs. Rome neither funded nor directly supervised these emissions; the city bore the cost and chose the timing.
