Beschrijving voorzijde Draped bust of Annia Faustina facing right, wearing a diadem, with hair elaborately arranged. The effigy is rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Lydian civic coinage of the Severan period. The Greek legend encircles the bust within a beaded border, identifying the empress by her full titulature. A perforation is visible at the lower edge of the flan, indicating later suspension use.

Aanvullende informatie

Thyateira's civic bronze coinage under Elagabalus names the strategos Tiberius Claudius Stratoneikeanos in the legend — a local magistrate whose tenure in office is preserved almost solely through coins of this type. The Pythia designation marks this as a festival issue connected to the Pythian games, one of the prestige athletic and musical competitions that provincial cities actively cultivated to elevate their civic standing within the Roman hierarchy of honors.

Thyateira held the title of neokoros at various points, and festival coinages were part of the machinery by which such honors were negotiated and displayed. The magistrate's name appearing so prominently reflects local epigraphic habit in the Pergamene conventus.
