Æ35 - Severus Alexander ΕΠ ϹΤΡ Π ΑΙ ΑΤΤΑΛΟΥ Τ Β ΕΡΥΘΡΑΙΩΝ

Erythrae was a mid-tier Ionian polis by the Severan period, punching above its weight by securing the right to strike large civic bronzes under Alexander's reign. The magistrate named in the legend — Attallus, serving as strategos for the second time (the Τ Β denoting a second term) — was likely a local benefactor who funded the issue himself, a common arrangement in the Greek East where minting rights were effectively purchased through civic generosity.

The Conventus of Smyrna administered a sprawling coastal district, and Erythraean issues from this period are notably scarce in comparison to neighbors like Smyrna or Ephesus.
