Æ38 - Septimius Severus Π (Υ) ΖΩϹΙΜΟΥ ΤΟΥ ΠΡΟϹΙϹΤΟΥ (sic) ϹΤΡΑΤΟΝΙΚΕΩΝ

Stratonicea, a Carian city granted its name by Antiochus I after he refounded it as a Macedonian colony, maintained the right to strike civic bronze throughout the Severan period — a privilege tied to its status as a major cult center for Zeus Panamaros and Hecate. The magistrate name rendered here as ΠΡΟϹΙϹΤΟΥ is a garbled form of a Greek title, and the sic notation flags what appears to be a die-engraver's error or an orthographic peculiarity of the local mint rather than a modern transcription slip.
