| Additional information |
Teos, the Ionian coastal city best known in antiquity as the birthplace of the lyric poet Anacreon, continued striking civic bronze under the joint reign of Valerian I and Gallienus — a pairing that ended abruptly when Valerian was captured by the Sasanian king Shapur I at the Battle of Edessa in 260 AD, the only Roman emperor ever taken prisoner in battle. The ethnic inscription ΤΗΙΩΝ identifies the issuing community precisely, a convention of the Smyrna conventus.
