| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Septimius Severus facing right, depicted from the rear in a three-quarter perspective, a common artistic convention found on provincial issues of this period. The effigy presents the emperor in full military attire, with the paludamentum secured at the shoulder. The surrounding field carries the imperial titulature legend in Greek characters. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mytilene on Lesbos retained the right to strike civic bronze under Roman oversight, with the magistrate's name — here Artemon son of Secundus — prominently cited as a mark of local accountability. The inclusion of a Latin cognomen like Secundus in an otherwise Greek inscription is a small but telling detail: elite families in the eastern provinces had been absorbing Roman nomenclature for generations by the Severan period.
The Aion type enjoyed particular prominence in Asia Minor during the reign of Septimius Severus, partly in response to his calculated promotion of eternity imagery following the civil wars of 193–194 that brought him to power.
