| Additional information |
Tralles, a prosperous city in the Maeander valley, minted prolifically under the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus — a period defined by near-constant military crisis on multiple frontiers simultaneously. Valerian's capture by the Sassanid king Shapur I at Edessa in 260 AD effectively split the reign in two, and provincial mints across Asia Minor continued striking in both names even after that humiliation, sometimes well into Gallienus's sole rule.
The Conventus of Ephesus exercised administrative oversight of civic coinage in the region, but individual cities like Tralles retained considerable latitude in their output.
