| Additional information |
Thyatira, a Lydian city best known from its dyeing industry and later from its mention in Revelation as one of the Seven Churches of Asia, struck provincial bronzes under Elagabalus during a reign defined by religious controversy in Rome — the young emperor's insistence on elevating the Syrian sun-cult of Elagabal above the traditional Roman pantheon alienated the Senate almost immediately. The magistrate named in this issue, Tiberius Claudius Stratoneikeanos, is attested only through a handful of surviving coins, making his tenure as strategos the primary evidence for his existence at all.
