Æ34 - Severus Alexander ΑΔΡ ϹΕΥ ΑΛΕΞΑ ΑΜΑϹΙΑϹ ΜΗΤ ΝΕ ΠΡ ΠΟΝ ΕΤ ϹΚΗ

Amaseia — modern Amasya in northern Turkey — held its civic calendar from a local era dating to 2 BC, and the ЄТ ϹΚΗ in the legend confirms this piece to year 228 of that reckoning, placing it squarely in 225–226 AD. The city's title string, incorporating ΜΗΤ ΝΕ ΠΡ ΠΟΝ, reflects honorifics accumulated over generations of imperial favor, with Neokoros status granted for maintenance of an imperial cult temple. Pontus had been reorganized administratively under earlier emperors, and Amaseia's prominence as a regional mint under Severus Alexander reflects its continued role as the dominant urban center of the interior.
