Æ28 - Gallienus (sole reign) (ΑΤΤΟΥΔΕΩΝ)

Attuda was a minor Carian city whose civic coinage under Gallienus's sole reign — after Valerian's capture by Shapur I in 260 — represents one of the last gasps of Greek imperial bronze in the region. The city struck under the conventus system administered from Alabanda, a jurisdiction that itself produced relatively little autonomous coinage by this period. Provincial issues from Caria dried up almost entirely within a decade of this coin's production, as the Roman monetary system consolidated and civic bronze lost its administrative rationale.
