Prymnessus was a minor Phrygian city whose civic coinage output was modest even by provincial standards, and bronzes struck under Septimius Severus represent some of its more substantial issues — likely spurred by the administrative energy his reign injected into the conventus system across Asia Minor. The city sat within the conventus of Synnada, whose assizes gave smaller communities periodic cause to mint.
The weight here is on the heavier end for this denomination from this mint, suggesting an early strike before any weight reduction within the series.
