| Additional information |
Perperene was a minor Aeolian settlement in the Caicus River valley, administratively subordinate to Pergamum, and its civic coinage under Severus Alexander represents one of the more obscure provincial outputs of the Severan period. The magistrate named in the legend — Aurelius Herosstratos — held the office of strategos, a local executive title that by this period carried ceremonial rather than military weight. Large bronzes of this module from Perperene are genuinely rare; the city simply did not produce volume.
