Æ29 - Septimius Severus ΕΠΙ ϹΤΡ Τ ΦΛ ΗΡΩΔ ΠΑΠΙΩΝΟϹ ΥΠΑΙΠΗΝΩΝ

Hypaepa was a small Lydian city in the Cayster River valley whose civic coinage depended almost entirely on the prestige of whatever magistrate's name appeared in the legend. Flavius Herodes Papion, whose name fills the obverse inscription here, held the strategia — the chief civic magistracy responsible for authorizing and overseeing local bronze issues. His name appears across several Hypaepan bronzes of the Severan period, suggesting a sustained tenure or repeated appointment.

The city's coins are thinly documented and poorly represented in major collections, making die linkage studies across the series difficult.
