Additional information

Eucarpia was a minor Phrygian city whose civic coinage effectively ceased with the broader collapse of provincial bronze production under Gallienus in the 260s. The issues of Trebonianus Gallus represent some of the last coins this city ever struck. Gallus came to power under controversial circumstances — his legions proclaimed him emperor immediately after Decius and his son Herennius Etruscus died fighting the Goths at Abrittus in 251, leading some ancient sources to accuse Gallus of deliberate betrayal, a charge that remains unresolved.
