Æ22 - Trebonianus Gallus ΝΕΑΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ

Neapolis ad Harpasum was a small Carian city whose coins are sparsely documented — the IX#760 reference places this firmly within the regional conventus coinage issued under Roman provincial administration, but the city itself left almost no literary trace. Trebonianus Gallus came to power after Decius and his son Hostilian both died in 251, Decius killed fighting Goths at the Battle of Abrittus and Hostilian almost certainly eliminated by Gallus himself, making the two-year reign that generated this bronze an uncomfortable one from its very start.
