Æ30 - Septimius Severus ΕΡΜΟΚΑΠΗΛΕΙΤΩΝ

Hermocapelia was a minor Lydian city whose coinage output under Septimius Severus was modest even by provincial standards. The city's name appears in the genitive on its coins as ΕΡΜΟΚΑΠΗΛΕΙΤΩΝ — a rare enough ethnic that modern die studies have catalogued only a handful of distinct obverse dies for the entire Severan period.

Its inclusion in the Pergamene conventus placed it administratively under the jurisdiction of the proconsul of Asia, who held assizes at Pergamum. Local bronze of this module was almost certainly struck for civic use rather than inter-city commerce.
