Attuda was a minor Phrygian city whose coin output under Septimius Severus was modest — civic bronze of this type circulated locally within the Alabanda conventus, one of the judicial districts Rome used to administer the dense network of small Asian poleis that lacked the weight to negotiate directly with the imperial center. The city's issues under Severus are infrequently encountered, less because of low survival than because production itself was limited.
