| Beschrijving keerzijde | Hipparchus, the celebrated Greek astronomer and native of Nicaea, is depicted seated to the left on a throne or chair, his right arm extended forward as he reaches toward a celestial sphere or globe set atop a tall column or stand to his right. The composition commemorates the city's pride in its famous intellectual son, a rare and historically significant reverse type for provincial bronze coinage. The Greek legend is distributed in the field around the figure, naming Hipparchus and identifying the issuing city. The style is provincial and somewhat schematic, consistent with Nicaean bronze issues of the joint reign of Valerian I and Gallienus. |

Nicaea's civic bronze coinage under the joint reign of Valerian I and Gallienus reflects the city's continued assertion of local identity during one of Rome's most chaotic stretches — the opening years of what historians now call the Crisis of the Third Century. The magistrate name ΙΠΠΑΡΧΟϹ (Hipparchos) appearing on this issue is a local eponymous official, a strategos or similar civic authority whose term anchors the coin to a specific, if now unrecoverable, municipal moment.
Valerian was captured by the Sasanian king Shapur I at Edessa, probably in 260 AD — the only Roman emperor ever taken prisoner in battle.
