| Additional information |
Clodius Albinus held the western provinces as Caesar under Septimius Severus from 193, a fragile arrangement that collapsed when Severus named his own son Caracalla heir in 196 — effectively signaling that Albinus had no future. This coin dates to the period just before that rupture, when Albinus had declared himself Augustus and was minting independently in the west, almost certainly at Lugdunum. He was defeated at the Battle of Lugdunum in February 197 and killed; Severus reportedly had his body thrown into the Rhône.
