| Aanvullende informatie |
Nisibis occupied a position of outsized strategic importance during Gordian III's reign — it was the principal Roman stronghold east of the Euphrates and the staging ground for campaigns against Shapur I. The city held colonial status under Septimius Severus, which is precisely why the colonial title appears in the legend. Civic bronze of this type was struck locally to supply a garrison economy operating at the edge of Roman reach.
Gordian III died in 244 near the Euphrates under disputed circumstances — possibly killed on Philippus Arabs' orders — ending the campaigns these coins were minted to support.
