Æ29 - Septimius Severus ΤΥΑΝΕωΝ Τ ΙΕ Κ ΑϹΥ Κ ΑΥ ΕΤ Δ

Tyana's civic coinage under Septimius Severus reflects the city's careful navigation of the dynastic chaos following the Year of the Five Emperors. The legend ΤΙΕ ΚΑϹΥ ΚΑΥ ΕΤ Δ encodes a local era date — year four — calculated from the city's grant of neocorate status, a privilege Tyana leveraged aggressively to assert prestige against its Cappadocian rival Caesarea. Provincial bronze of this weight class from Tyana is considerably scarcer than comparable issues from Caesarea, which operated on a far larger civic mint scale.
