Æ29 - Caracalla ΑΝΤ ΚΟΛΩΝΙ ΤΥΑΝΩ ΕΤ ΙϚ

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.
