| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gordian III facing right, viewed from the rear, with the radiate crown rendered in bold relief. The imperial effigy displays layered military drapery over the cuirass, characteristic of mid-third-century provincial coinage. The surrounding Latin legend reads IMP C M ANT GORDIANVS AVG, distributed around the periphery of the flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Pella's colonial coinage under Gordian III belongs to a civic minting tradition that was already running on borrowed time. By the mid-third century, the western Macedonian provincial bronzes were being progressively squeezed out as Rome's monetary crises pushed military coinage priorities to the fore. Pella itself traded heavily on its Macedonian prestige — the birthplace of Alexander — as justification for continued colonial issue rights.
The COL IVL AVG title traces to Julius Caesar's refoundation of the city as a Roman colony, likely around 42 BC following Philippi.
