Æ23 - Gallienus sole reign) (ΑΡΓΕΙωΝ, ΙΕ

Argos maintained its civic coinage well into the third century under imperial tolerance, one of the few Peloponnesian cities still producing bronze issues during Gallienus's sole reign after Valerian's capture by Shapur I in 260 AD. The ΙΕ in the inscription likely denotes a local magistrate or agonothete, a detail that remains only partially resolved in the scholarship. Civic bronzes from Achaea dry up almost entirely after 268, making this period the terminal horizon for most Greek provincial output in the region.
