Æ37 - Septimius Severus ΕΠΙ ΓΡΑ ΙΑϹΟΝΟϹ ΤΟΥ ΚΛΕΟΒΟΥ ϹΤΡΑΤΟΝΙΚΕΩΝ

Stratonicea was one of the few Carian cities to maintain a genuinely active civic bronze coinage through the Severan period, a function tied closely to its role as a regional religious center for Zeus Chrysaoreus — whose sanctuary drew delegates from across the Chrysaoric League. The magistrate name preserved in this coin's legend, Iason son of Kleoboulos, anchors the piece to a specific administrative moment within Severan-era Stratonicea that would otherwise be entirely unrecorded.

The inclusion of the full strategos formula with patronymic is characteristic of Stratoniceian civic issues and occasionally allows die-linking across multiple denominations from the same magistracy.
