Cadi was a small Phrygian city whose civic coinage under Trebonianus Gallus is remarkably scarce — his two-year reign, cut short when his own troops defected to Aemilianus in 253, left little time for provincial mints to produce substantial volumes. The magistrate name Charidemus appearing in the legend helps anchor this piece to a specific administrative moment in the city's otherwise poorly documented coinage sequence.
