Adramyteum, a coastal city in Mysia, struck provincial bronzes under Gallienus during his sole reign — the period following the capture of his father Valerian by Shapur I in 260 AD, an event that left Gallienus to manage an empire fracturing simultaneously on multiple frontiers. The magistrate name ΒΙΚΤΟΡΟϹ in the legend identifies the local official responsible for authorizing this issue, a naming convention that helps sequence Adramyteum's otherwise sparsely documented civic coinage.
