Temenothyrae was a small Lydian city whose civic coinage depended entirely on local magistrates funding issues from their own resources — the archiereus named in this legend, Titianos, held both a religious and administrative role, and his name on the die was as much a record of personal expenditure as civic pride. The joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus, father and son ruling simultaneously after 253, generated an unusual volume of provincial bronze precisely because two emperors required double the honorific output from loyal cities. Valerian's capture by Shapur I at Edessa in 260 ended the issue abruptly.
