| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Gallienus facing right, portrayed from a rear three-quarter perspective, as was characteristic of the joint reign coinage of Valerian and Gallienus. The imperial effigy is rendered in the provincial style typical of the Ephesian mint, with the laureate wreath clearly indicated above the brow. A Greek legend encircles the bust within the field, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show the characteristic green patination of ancient provincial bronze coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ephesus held the title of neokoros — temple warden — four times by the mid-third century, an accumulation of imperial cult honors that the city jealously guarded and prominently advertised on its bronze civic issues. The joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus, 253–268, was one of the most catastrophic periods in Roman history: Persian invasion, plague, and the fragmentation that would become the Crisis of the Third Century. That Ephesus continued producing civic bronzes through this period speaks to the city's administrative tenacity and its insistence on maintaining prestige even as the empire buckled around it.
