| Additional information |
Daldis was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage under the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus represents one of the more obscure provincial issues of the third century. The city is better known to ancient geographers than to numismatists — Claudius Aelianus cited it as the birthplace of Polemon of Laodicea, the celebrated physiognomist, but its mint output was modest and its surviving types are sparsely represented in major collections.
The magistrate name partially preserved in the legend — ΠΕΙΟΥ — has not been fully resolved in the scholarship, and die linkage studies for Daldian bronzes remain incomplete.
