| Additional information |
Thyatira, a Lydian city better known from the Book of Revelation as one of the Seven Churches of Asia, was a significant producer of provincial bronze under Septimius Severus. The magistrate named in the legend — Moschos — held the office of strategos, the civic administrator responsible for authorizing and overseeing local coin production. His name appearing twice in the series (the Β indicating a second term) is an administrative detail that helps sequence issues within the reign and suggests he was a figure of some local political continuity during Severus's protracted wars in the east.
