Æ23 - Trebonianus Gallus ΕΡΜΟΚΑΠΗΛΕΙΤΩΝ

Hermocapelia was a minor Lydian city of no particular prominence, which makes its civic bronze output under Trebonianus Gallus noteworthy primarily as evidence of continued local minting autonomy in the Pergamene conventus during a reign defined by plague, military pressure on the Danube frontier, and a short-lived peace treaty with the Goths that earned Gallus the contempt of later Roman historians. The city's coins are rare in any condition — production was small, circulation local, and survival rates accordingly low.
