A hint is given on the coins which, as I have mentioned, links the two letters to military events, perhaps even concretely to victories over the Iranian opponents i.e. Parthians and Sassanids.&nbsp; In fact there is an honorary title, which refers to the participation of cities in Roman wars, that can be abbreviated with the letters SR and plays a role in the self-portrayal of the &quot;Colonia and Socia of the Romans&quot; cities - also found on the coins.&nbsp; The support of Roman campaigns in the east (and elsewhere in the empire) was specifically expressed by the title of an <i><b>σύμμαχος Ρωμαίωυ</b></i> [&quot;sýmmachos Romaíon&quot; or &quot;ally of the Romans&quot;]. The Greek title is a translation of the Latin honorary predicate &quot;Socius or Socia Romanorum&quot;, which, I would like to show, was likely granted to the city of Antioch near Pisidia under the rule of Septimius Severus.&quot;</font></p><p><font size="3">- Johannes Nollé, &quot;<a href="https://www.academia.edu/8315848/_Colonia_und_Socia_der_R%C3%B6mer_._Ein_neuer_Vorschlag_zur_Aufl%C3%B6sung_der_Buchstaben_SR_auf_den_M%C3%BCnzen_von_Antiocheia_bei_Pisidien_in_Rom_und_der_Griechische_Osten._Festschrift_H.H._Schmitt_zum_65._Geburtstag_Stuttgart_1995_350-370" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.academia.edu/8315848/_Colonia_und_Socia_der_R%C3%B6mer_._Ein_neuer_Vorschlag_zur_Aufl%C3%B6sung_der_Buchstaben_SR_auf_den_M%C3%BCnzen_von_Antiocheia_bei_Pisidien_in_Rom_und_der_Griechische_Osten._Festschrift_H.H._Schmitt_zum_65._Geburtstag_Stuttgart_1995_350-370" rel="nofollow">Colonia und Socia der Römer</a>&quot;.
