| Additional information |
Miletopolis was a minor Mysian city of little strategic consequence, which makes its coin output under Septimius Severus particularly interesting — the city was actively cultivating imperial favor during the period when Severus was reorganizing provincial administration in Asia Minor following his defeat of Pescennius Niger in 194 AD. The magistrate abbreviation ΕΠ ΟΥ appearing on this issue likely references a local strategos or grammateus whose full name remains unresolved in the epigraphic record.
The Cyzicus conventus encompassed dozens of such small civic mints, most striking only sporadically under imperial visits or festival cycles.
