| Additional information |
Macrinus ruled for just fourteen months before being overthrown and executed in 218 AD, making his provincial bronzes among the shortest-reign issues of the entire third century. Prusias ad Hypium, a Bithynian city that had reoriented its civic identity around Roman imperial patronage since the Hellenistic period, would have needed to move quickly to strike in his name — and equally quickly to stop.
