Æ24 - Valerian and Gallienus ΕΠ ΠΕΙΟΥ ΔΑΛΔΙΑΝΩΝ

Daldis was a minor Lydian city whose coins are rare enough that the civic series remains poorly catalogued — X#61490 reflects a cross-reference number rather than a standard BMC or RPC placement, which itself signals how infrequently these pieces enter the scholarly record. The city minted under the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus, a pairing that lasted only until Valerian's capture by the Sasanian king Shapur I at the Battle of Edessa in 260, after which co-regnal titulature on provincial bronzes from the Sardis conventus abruptly shifts.
