Macrinus ruled for just fourteen months before being defeated and executed in 218 AD, making any provincial bronze struck in his name inherently short-dated. Synnada, a Phrygian city whose economy rested heavily on its famous marble quarries — the *marmor Synnadicum* prized across the Roman world — would have struck this issue within that narrow window, almost certainly before news of Elagabalus's proclamation reached the interior of Asia Minor.
The reference V.2#756 places this within Waaddington's corpus of Asian Greek coinage, a classification framework now largely superseded but still the standard citation for many Synnadean bronzes.
