Acmoneia was a Phrygian city whose civic coinage under Trebonianus Gallus belongs to a particularly dense episode of provincial output — the emperor's two-year reign saw heavy local minting across the Apamean conventus as Roman authority in the east was tested by Gothic incursions and the ongoing crisis of the third century. Acmoneia's issues from this period are not especially rare, but the conventus attribution matters: Apamea administered a sprawling judicial district, and civic minting rights were granted and maintained through that administrative structure rather than directly from Rome.
