Æ34 - Septimius Severus ΕΠΙ ΕΛΕΝΟΥ ΑΠΟΛ ΑΡ Α ΤΟ Β, ϹΙΛΑΝΔΕΩΝ

Silandus was a minor Lydian city of negligible political weight, which makes its municipal bronze coinage under Septimius Severus historically interesting for a different reason: the magistrate name recorded here — Helenos, serving in his second term as archon — appears across a cluster of issues that numismatists use to sequence the city's otherwise poorly documented civic calendar. The abbreviation ΑΡ Α ΤΟ Β confirms this is his second tenure, a detail that places this piece within a narrow administrative window rather than simply across an eighteen-year reign.
