| Additional information |
Amasea, situated in the Pontic highlands along the Iris River, was among the more ambitious civic minters of the Severan period. The city's coins from this era carry its full honorific titulature — Metropolis, Neokoros, and the rest — accumulated titles that reflected genuine administrative standing in the province, not mere flattery. The year date ϹΘ (year 209 of the local Pontic era) anchors this piece to 206–207 AD, during Severus's consolidation of eastern provincial loyalties following the Parthian campaigns.
