Æ29 - Septimius Severus ΕΠΙ ΑΡΤΕΜΙΔΩΡΟΥ ΛΑΝ ΑΡΧ Α ΤΟ Β, ΔΑΛΔΙΑΝΩΝ

Daldis was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage survives in small numbers, partly because the city itself left almost no literary footprint — Artemidorus of Daldis, the second-century dream interpreter whose Oneirocritica remains the only substantial ancient work on dream analysis, is essentially the town's sole claim to wider historical notice. The magistrate named in the obverse legend almost certainly belongs to the same prominent local family. Provincial bronzes struck under named archons like this one were civic decisions, funded locally, not imperial mandates.
