Æ32 - Severus Alexander ΦΙΛΟΜΗΛΕΩΝ ΕΠΙ Μ ΙΟΥΛ ΠΑΥΛΕΙΝΟΥ

Philomelium, a Phrygian city on the road between Laodicea and Iconium, struck civic bronze under Severus Alexander with a magistrate's name — M. Iulius Paulleinus — embedded in the legend, the local boule asserting its minting authority in the traditional manner of the Conventus system. These provincial issues were not imperial commissions; they were locally funded and locally circulated, filling a practical gap that Rome's mints had no interest in addressing at this denomination.

The Conventus of Philomelium was among the smaller Phrygian jurisdictions, and its civic bronze output is correspondingly thin. Paulleinus appears on only a handful of known types.
