| Additional information |
Athens struck bronze provincials under Gallienus during his sole reign following the capture of his father Valerian by Shapur I in 260 AD — an event that effectively ended the joint rule and left Gallienus managing an empire fracturing at every seam. The Herulian sack of Athens in 267 AD almost certainly disrupted or ended local minting, making issues from the later end of this window considerably scarcer than the date range implies.
