| Additional information |
Perperene was a minor Mysian settlement whose civic coinage under Septimius Severus names the local strategos Attalos as presiding magistrate — one of the few administrative traces this obscure town left in the historical record. The city's output under the Severan dynasty is sparse, and the magistrate series it did produce is poorly represented in major collections, making die linkage studies across surviving specimens genuinely difficult.
