Æ40 - Septimius Severus ΜΥΛΑϹΕΩΝ

Mylasa occupied an awkward position during Severus's rise — a Carian city with deep ties to older dynastic power, now folding itself into the administrative machinery of the Alabanda conventus. Provincial bronzes of this size from Mylasa are not prolific, and the city's output under Severus was limited compared to more active Carian mints. The 18-year reign window makes precise attribution within the issue sequence difficult without die-link studies.
