Additional information

Thyatira, a prosperous textile and dyeing city in Lydia, was unusually active in civic bronze coinage under the Severans, and the magistrate name preserved here — Aur. Glykon Loukios — anchors this piece to a specific administrative moment that numismatic records for the city allow us to sequence relative to other local issues. The city's bronzes from this period are notable for their exceptionally heavy flans, a local casting preference that distinguishes Thyatiran issues from neighboring Pergamene conventus cities.
