| Additional information |
Aphrodisias enjoyed an unusually privileged relationship with Rome — the city had been granted freedom and tax exemption by Augustus, a status repeatedly confirmed by successive emperors. Local bronze coinage from this Carian city circulated almost entirely within the immediate region, functioning alongside but independent of imperial issues. By Gallienus's sole reign, following the capture of his father Valerian by the Sassanid king Shapur I in 260 AD, civic bronze production across Asia Minor was already winding down; most Anatolian mints struck their final issues within this decade.
