| Additional information |
Tyana's colonial coinage under Caracalla reflects the city's elevation to Roman colony status, likely under Septimius Severus, which granted it the right to strike bronze with Latin colonial titulature — unusual for a Cappadocian mint more accustomed to Greek civic issues. The date ΕΤ ΙϚ, year 16, anchors this piece within a local colonial era rather than any imperial reckoning.
Tyana claimed descent from the Assyrians and was better known in antiquity as the birthplace of Apollonius, the first-century philosopher whose reputation shadowed the city's identity for centuries.
