| Additional information |
Maeonia was a minor inland city of Lydia whose civic coinage under Septimius Severus frequently names local magistrates — the ΕΠΙ ΔΑΜΑ formula identifying the presiding official responsible for the issue, a Greek administrative convention that made provincial bronzes function simultaneously as civic records. The magistrate named here, Damas, appears on a small cluster of Maeonean types, suggesting a brief but productive tenure overseeing the mint.
Lydia's conventus coinages of this period were struck without central imperial direction, funded locally, and circulated within a narrow regional radius.
