Æ34 - Septimius Severus ΑΡΧ ΙΟΥΝΙΟΥ ΤΟ ΔΕ, ΠΕΛΤΗΝΩΝ ΜΑΚ

Peltae was a small Lydian city whose coins are poorly represented in major collections, making any civic bronze from the Severan period scarcer in the market than the reign's prolific imperial output would suggest. The magistrate name preserved in the legend — Iunios — anchors this piece to a specific local administrator otherwise unattested in surviving inscriptions, a detail that occasionally makes provincial bronzes the only record of a man's existence.

The Macedonian tribal designation in the ethnic reflects Peltae's claimed Macedonian colonial origins, a distinction the city maintained on its coinage long after it had any practical political meaning.
