| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gallienus facing left, portrayed from the rear in a three-quarter perspective, a presentation style characteristic of certain provincial issues of the mid-third century AD. The radiate crown is rendered with outward-pointing rays above the head. The drapery and cuirass are indicated by summary engraving on the shoulder and chest. The obverse legend encircles the bust in Greek characters. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Aphrodisias occupied a privileged position in Roman Asia Minor, having received a formal grant of freedom and tax immunity — confirmed repeatedly by successive emperors — owing largely to the city's powerful cult of Aphrodite and its unusually well-connected civic elite. Bronze issues under Gallienus's sole reign followed the death of his father Valerian, captured by Shapur I of Persia in 260 AD, the only Roman emperor ever taken prisoner by a foreign enemy. The misspelled ethnic legend ΑΦΡΟΔΙϹΙΑΙΩΝ, rather than the correct ΑΦΡΟΔΕΙϹΙΕΩΝ, points to a local engraver working without close editorial oversight.
