| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Gallienus facing right, seen from the rear, with the radiate crown rendered in relief above the head. The Greek imperial legend encircles the effigy along the border of the flan, partially visible due to the irregular striking. The surface exhibits a dark brown patina consistent with prolonged circulation, and the dotted border is discernible in sections around the periphery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cius, a port city on the Propontis, had a long habit of issuing bronze coinage under Roman authority that emphasized local civic identity rather than imperial flattery. The joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus — ended violently when Valerian was captured by Shapur I at the Battle of Edessa in 260, the only Roman emperor ever taken prisoner in the field — makes precise dating within this window consequential. Coins issued after 260 would have dropped Valerian's name from civic bronzes across the eastern provinces.
The ΚΙΑΝΩΝ ethnic confirms civic issue, not imperial mint production.
