Teos, the Ionian coastal city best known in antiquity as the birthplace of the poet Anacreon, maintained the right to strike civic bronze under the joint reign of Valerian I and his son Gallienus — one of the few periods in the third century when imperial co-rule was formalized rather than contested. The magistrate name preserved in the legend, Aurelius Hermogenes, reflects the spread of the Aurelian nomen following Caracalla's universal citizenship grant of 212 AD, a detail that turns up with striking regularity on provincial issues from western Anatolia across this period.
