| Beschrijving keerzijde | Dionysus, the principal deity of Teos, depicted standing to the left in a relaxed contrapposto pose, extending a cantharus from which he pours a libation over a panther crouching at his feet. The reverse legend, distributed around the field, records the name of the local magistrate Aurelius Hermogenes under whose authority the issue was struck. The type reflects Teos's long-standing cultic devotion to Dionysus, whose worship was central to the city's religious identity throughout antiquity. The coin is heavily worn and the flan surface is corroded, rendering fine detail difficult to discern. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Teos, the Ionian coastal city best known in antiquity as the birthplace of the poet Anacreon, retained the right to strike civic bronze under Roman rule well into the third century. The magistrate name preserved in the legend — Aurelius Hermogenes — reflects the spread of the Aurelian nomen following the Constitutio Antoniniana of 212 AD, which extended Roman citizenship across the empire and flooded provincial onomastics with newly minted Roman names. The joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus, during which this piece was struck, was one of the most pressured periods in Roman imperial history, with simultaneous frontier crises on the Rhine and Euphrates straining the central administration.
Teos itself was a minor issuer within the Smyrna conventus, and the series attributed to Hermogenes is small.
