| Beschrijving keerzijde | The emperor, depicted in full military costume and wearing a radiate crown, is shown on horseback galloping to the right, his right arm raised and brandishing a spear in a gesture of martial triumph. Beneath the horse, a prostrate captive figure is rendered in the exergual area, symbolizing Roman military dominance over barbarian enemies. The civic legend of the Aphrodisians encircles the design in the field. The composition follows the standard provincial equestrian type common to Asia Minor civic bronzes of the mid-third century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Aphrodisias enjoyed an unusually privileged relationship with Rome — the city held the rare status of a free city exempt from provincial taxation, a position it guarded jealously through centuries of careful diplomacy. Local bronze issues like this one circulated within that semi-autonomous framework, produced by civic authorities rather than imperial mandate. Gallienus's sole reign, following the capture of his father Valerian by Shapur I in 260 AD, left provincial mints and civic issues filling gaps as the central coinage system buckled under near-continuous military crisis.
