Alabanda, a city in Caria whose citizens were mocked by Cicero in De Oratore as the archetypal provincial rubes, nonetheless operated a vigorous civic bronze coinage under Gallienus's sole reign — the years following Valerian's catastrophic capture by Shapur I in 260 AD, which left the empire simultaneously fractured by the Gallic breakaway state in the west and the Palmyrene sphere in the east. Civic issues from Carian mints during this window are notably inconsistent in fabric, likely reflecting disrupted metal supply chains rather than any administrative change.
