Mint of Nysa

c. 200 BC/BCE to 300 CE

Nysa on the Maeander was an ancient city and bishopric of Asia Minor, whose remains are in the Sultanhisar district of Aydın Province of Turkey, 50 kilometres east of the Ionian city of Ephesus, and which remains a Latin Catholic titular see. At one time it was reckoned as belonging to Caria or Lydia, but under the Roman Empire it was within the province of Asia, which had Ephesus for capital, and the bishop of Nysa was thus a suffragan of the metropolitan see of Ephesus. Its coinage began around the 2nd century BC. The coins of Nysa are very numerous, and exhibit a series of Roman emperors from Augustus to Gallienus.
