| Additional information |
Thyatira's civic coinage under Elagabalus names the local magistrate Klaudios Aurelios Dionysios Hippikos — the epithet suggesting equestrian status, an honorific that carried real social weight in the provincial hierarchy of the Pergamene conventus. Magistrate-named bronzes of this size were prestige civic issues, not everyday currency; something closer to institutional display pieces.
Elagabalus reigned just four years before being murdered by the Praetorian Guard alongside his mother Julia Soaemias, their bodies dragged through Rome's streets. The short reign compresses the window for any issue bearing his name.
