| Aanvullende informatie |
Singara, a heavily fortified Roman garrison city on the Mesopotamian frontier, was the site of a costly engagement against Shapur I's forces — likely during the very years this coin was struck. The joint issue of Gordian III and his empress Tranquillina is characteristic of provincial bronzes minted to mark their marriage in 241 AD, a diplomatic gesture translated into coinage across numerous eastern mints. Singara's output from this period is scarce, reflecting both the city's limited civic infrastructure and the disruption of sustained military pressure on the eastern frontier.
