| Additional information |
Amaseia — the Pontic royal capital where Strabo was born — held the title of metropolis under Rome, and the city's coins during Severus's reign reflect an active program of civic self-promotion through imperial coinage. The dating formula ΕΤ ϹΗ corresponds to year 208 of the local Pontic era, anchoring this piece precisely to 205–206 AD, when Severus had recently returned from his Parthian campaigns and was consolidating eastern loyalties through benefactions to cooperative provincial cities.
