| Additional information |
Antioch's civic bronze coinage under Trajan operated on a different logic than Roman imperial mints — the large SC types were produced under civic authority but with imperial sanction, a hybrid arrangement reflecting Rome's longstanding accommodation of Syrian municipal coinage traditions. The "SC" here does not carry the senatorial weight it would on a Roman as; its meaning in the Antiochene context remains debated among specialists.
RPC III 3595 is a well-documented type, but die studies suggest considerable variation across the series.
