Pertinax ruled for 87 days in 193 AD before the Praetorian Guard murdered him over a pay dispute — his refusal to loot the treasury made him popular with the Senate and fatal with the soldiers. Provincial mints in Bithynia had almost no time to produce coins before his assassination ended the reign, and Prusa ad Olympum was among the handful of eastern cities that managed to strike bronze issues during that window. The resulting corpus is tiny by any measure.
