| Additional information |
Macrinus ruled for just fourteen months before being defeated by the forces of Elagabalus at the Battle of Antioch in June 218 and subsequently executed. His reign was too short and too unstable — he never visited Rome after becoming emperor — for provincial mints to produce coinage in substantial volumes, and Cibyra in Phrygia was no exception. The date numeral ΓϘΡ places this piece within the local Kibyratan era, anchoring it precisely within that narrow window.
