| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Gordian III facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the front, as is characteristic of provincial coinage of this period. The imperial effigy is framed by a circular Greek legend reading ΑΥΤ Κ Μ ΑΝΤ ΓΟΡΔΙΑΝΟϹ ϹΕΒ, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The relief is bold but worn, displaying the typical fabric of Pamphylian civic bronze issues. The bust exhibits traces of military dress including the cuirass, reflecting the emperor's role as supreme commander. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Aspendus was one of the most prolific civic mints in Pamphylia under the Severans and their successors, continuing to strike bronze for local circulation well into the reign of Gordian III. These issues funded municipal life — games, temples, civic distributions — without any authorization from Rome, a privilege the eastern cities had exercised for centuries under the looser fiscal arrangements of the imperial east.
The early years of Gordian III's reign were administratively turbulent: he came to power at thirteen, with effective control held first by the Praetorian prefect Timesitheus and later by Philip the Arab following Timesitheus's death in 243.
