| Additional information |
This coin documents a formal *homonoia* — a "concord" agreement — between Thyatira and Pergamum, struck under the authority of the Pergamene *strategos* Moschos during the reign of Septimius Severus. Such inter-city concord issues were politically loaded: they advertised alliance, shared cult observances, or resolved civic disputes, and the city that initiated the agreement typically bore the production cost. Thyatira, a prosperous Lydian textile center on the road between Pergamum and Sardis, had strong economic incentives to maintain visible harmony with the dominant city of its conventus.
The designation "B" after Moschos's name indicates a second term in office — a detail that anchors this issue within a narrower administrative window than the reign dates alone suggest.
