Æ36 - Septimius Severus ΠΑΡΑ ΜΗΝΟΔΟΤΟΥ ΚΑΙ ΑΙΛΙΑΝΗϹ ϹΕΙΒΛΙΑΝΩΝ

Siblia was a minor Phrygian settlement whose civic coinage under the Severan dynasty was issued not by a magistrate acting alone but by a pair — Menodotos and Ailiane, named together in the legend, almost certainly a husband and wife team exercising joint civic liturgy. This joint eponymous dedication is unusual even by the flexible standards of provincial Asian bronze issues, where naming conventions varied widely between poleis.

The conventus of Apamea administered a vast swath of inland Phrygia, and small dependent communities like Siblia rarely struck bronze with this level of civic ambition. Few specimens are recorded.
