Blaundus was a Lydian city of modest regional standing, and its civic bronze issues under Trebonianus Gallus reflect a mint operating well within the administrative orbit of the Sardis conventus. The ethnic ΒΛΑΥΝΔΕΩΝ is standard for the series; the epithet ΙΠΠΟΥΡΙΟϹ — "of the horse's tail" — likely references a local toponym or founding myth, though its precise origin remains unresolved in the scholarship. Gallus's reign lasted barely two years before his murder by his own troops in 253.
