Æ36 - Septimius Severus ϹΥΝΝΑΔΕΩΝ

Synnada, a Phrygian city granted conventus status under Roman reorganization of Asia Minor, struck bronze issues under Septimius Severus during a period when the emperor was actively cultivating loyalty across the eastern provinces — particularly after his civil war victories over Pescennius Niger and Clodius Albinus. Cities holding conventus rights hosted Roman judicial assizes, giving them both administrative prestige and a practical incentive to mint civic bronzes that circulated within their judicial district.

The reference V.2#968 places this within Voegtli's corpus of Synnadan civic issues, a series notable for its considerable die variety at this denomination.
