| Additional information |
Thyatira, a Lydian city better known from the New Testament's Book of Revelation as one of the seven churches of Asia, was also a significant bronze-issuing mint under the Severan dynasty. The magistrate name Moschos appears across a coherent group of Thyatiran bronzes from this period, indicating a strategos whose term coincided with Septimius Severus's consolidation of power following the civil wars of 193 — the so-called Year of the Five Emperors. Provincial civic bronzes of this size and weight from the Pergamene conventus were struck for local exchange, entirely outside Roman imperial mint authority.
The Β in the magistrate formula almost certainly denotes a second term or second issue sequence under Moschos.
