• Resumen

  • This paper reconsiders the ‘pseudo-autonomous’ coins of the types Athena|Telesphorus and Heracles|lion, which were most commonly issued in Lydian and Mysian cities during the Roman period. Stylistic considerations on coins of Elaea (Aeolis) and Apollonis (Lydia) provide new arguments for dating the bulk of these series in the reign of Septimius Severus. This leads to consideration of the reasons for the diffusion of the Athena and Heracles coin types on pseudo-autonomous coins from Aeolis, Mysia, Lydia and Phrygia in the early 3rd century
