| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Valerian I facing right, portrayed from behind, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder and military cuirass rendered in relief. The imperial effigy is set within a beaded border, with the Greek legend disposed around the periphery identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The die-cutting reflects the provincial workshop style of mid-third-century Asia Minor, combining Roman imperial iconography with local engraving traditions. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cyme, one of the oldest Aeolian Greek foundations on the Ionian coast, issued civic bronzes under the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus through the authority of a local magistrate — here the strategos Aurelius Elpidephoros, whose name dominates the obverse legend. The practice of naming magistrates on provincial bronzes was administratively meaningful, not merely honorific; it assigned accountability for the issue.
Valerian was captured by Shapur I of Persia around 260 AD, the only Roman emperor taken prisoner in battle, an event that effectively ended the co-reign this coin commemorates.
