| Aanvullende informatie |
Caesarea Germanica, a small Bithynian city on the Parthenos River, exercised the right to strike provincial bronze under Septimius Severus — a privilege likely secured or renewed in the political turbulence following the Year of the Five Emperors in 193 AD. Severus, having eliminated his rivals Pescennius Niger and Clodius Albinus by 197, consolidated loyalty across the eastern provinces partly through permitting continued local coinage as a mark of civic recognition.
The city's output under Severus is sparse in surviving examples, making clean attributions to this issuer genuinely uncommon in the trade.
