| Additional information |
Amorium, a Phrygian city of middling regional importance, struck bronze for Septimius Severus during a period when provincial mints across Asia Minor were competing to demonstrate loyalty to the new dynasty following the civil wars of 193 AD — the Year of the Four Emperors. Civic bronze issues were entirely self-funded by local magistrates, who bore the cost personally as a form of public service, which partly explains the wildly inconsistent output quality seen across Phrygia in this period.
The Conventus of Synnada administered a broad inland territory; Amorium's coins from this reign are sparsely documented, with V.2#575 representing one of the few catalogued die pairings for this magistracy.
