| Additional information |
Petra retained its civic coinage rights well into the Severan period, a privilege extended to select Eastern cities as part of Rome's broader accommodation of provincial identity. The city's title ΜΗΤ — metropolis — was granted under the Severans, making coins bearing that designation datable to a narrower window than the full reign suggests. Petra's mint output under Septimius Severus is modest by provincial standards, and the city's coinage effectively ceased within a generation.
