| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gordian III facing right, presented three-quarter from the rear in the characteristic provincial style. The imperial effigy displays the layered rendering of paludamentum and cuirass typical of Eastern provincial workshops of the mid-3rd century AD. The encircling Greek legend frames the portrait field, running along the coin's periphery. The die work reflects the regional engraving conventions of the Lydian conventus under Pergamum. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Thyatira, a Lydian city better known from the Book of Revelation as one of the Seven Churches of Asia, was a significant textile and dyeing center whose merchant guilds dominated civic life well into the Roman period. Under Gordian III, provincial bronze issues like this one were produced locally to meet small-denomination demand that imperial coinage rarely satisfied at the regional level — Rome minted for Rome's purposes, and the eastern cities filled the gap themselves.
The Conventus of Pergamum administered judicial and administrative functions across a broad swath of western Anatolia, with Thyatira sitting near its eastern edge.
