| Additional information |
Germanicopolis in Paphlagonia was a minor civic mint that struck bronze and orichalcum issues sporadically under the Severan dynasty, largely to facilitate local exchange rather than any imperial directive. The ЄT C/ΔI dating formula — civic year 204 by the local Paphlagonian era — anchors this piece precisely within Caracalla's co-reign with Septimius Severus, before his father's death in 211 rendered him sole Augustus.
Paphlagonian civic bronzes of this period are routinely underrepresented in major collections, and die studies for Germanicopolis remain incomplete.
