Tium was a minor Bithynian coastal city whose civic coinage under Gordian III survives in very small numbers — the city's output was never prolific, and most known specimens come from a handful of documented hoards along the Black Sea littoral. The ethnic ΤΙΑΝΩΝ on these bronzes marks the city's Greek identity, retained through centuries of Roman administration.
