Name

Lucius (?) Severus Mas…

Magistrate and strategos in Cyzicus/Mysia during the reigns of Valerianus I and Gallienus.

His name appears on coins issued in the reign of Gallienus (with portraits of the emperor, Kore Soteira, or Heros Kyzikos) both with his title of strategos and without, e. g.  BMC Mysia p. 58 no. 280.

ΛΟΚΕ… or Λ ΟΚΕ… in SNG France Mysie no. 618 is misread, actually there is CΤΡΑ ΛΟΚ (sic) CЄΒΗΡΟ-Υ; an identification as "Lucius" or "Lucilius" therefore seems clear.

Lit.: F. Imhoof-Blumer, Monnaies grecques (1883) p. 613 no. 171; BMC Mysia p. 58 no. 280; SNG Aulock no. 1250; SNG France Mysie nos. 614, 618, 870; W. Leschhorn, Lexikon der Aufschriften auf griechischen Münzen II (2009) p. 645 s. v. Loke- and p. 800 s. v. Seberos (AD 253-268); Th. Corsten (ed.), Lexicon of Greek Personal Names V A. Coastal Asia Minor (2010) p. 402 s. v. Seoueros (no. 46) (AD 253-268).
