| Additional information |
Athens struck remarkably little bronze under Gallienus during his sole reign, and what survives tends to come from a handful of dies showing uneven workmanship — consistent with a civic mint operating intermittently rather than sustaining any organized production schedule. The province of Achaea was economically stressed throughout the 260s, squeezed between Gallienus's military emergencies on the Rhine and Danube frontiers and the broader third-century contraction of civic euergetism that had historically funded local coinage.
The X# reference places this outside the standard RPC sequence, suggesting its attribution remains provisional in the major corpora.
