| Additional information |
Amorium occupied a strategically awkward position in Phrygia — prosperous enough to strike civic bronze under the Severans, but never prominent enough to attract sustained imperial attention. The city's coinage under Septimius Severus belongs to a burst of provincial mint activity that followed his victory in the civil wars of 193–197, when cities across Asia Minor rushed to demonstrate loyalty through coin issues bearing the new emperor's name.
The reference V.2#325 places this within Voegtli's corpus of Amorian bronzes, a series documented in frustratingly thin runs with several varieties known from single specimens.
