The civic year ΡΞΓ (163) in Neocaesarea's local Pontic era corresponds to 226–227 AD, placing this issue squarely within Severus Alexander's reign — a period during which the city was actively leveraging its double neokorate status as a mark of prestige and a tool for negotiating favor with the imperial court. Neocaesarea held the distinction of being twice crowned as a center of imperial cult, and the city made certain that both titles appeared on its coinage with conspicuous regularity.
