Additional information

Docimeum's claim to fame was marble, not coinage — the quarries there supplied the Roman imperial building program for centuries, and the town's civic identity was bound up in that industry far more than in its mint output. The bronze issues of Macrinus from this mint are scarce precisely because his reign lasted barely fourteen months before Elagabalus's forces killed him at the Battle of Antioch in June 218. Provincial mints had little time to produce substantial quantities before the new administration's types replaced them entirely.
