| Additional information |
Cos — the island of Asclepius and Hippocrates — struck bronze under Septimius Severus as part of the broader reorganization of provincial coinage that followed the civil wars of 193 AD. The island's mint activity during this reign was modest, and the conventus arrangement through Halicarnassus placed Cos administratively within a grouping of Carian and Aegean communities rather than as an independent issuing authority. Surviving civic bronzes from Cos under the Severans are genuinely scarce in any condition.
