| Additional information |
Nysa, a prosperous city in the Maeander valley, was granted the right to strike bronze coinage under the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus — a period when the Roman Empire was fracturing under simultaneous barbarian pressure on the Rhine and Danube frontiers and the catastrophic capture of Valerian himself by the Sasanian king Shapur I in 260 AD. The magistrate name in the legend, Claudius Pollion, anchors this piece to a specific local administrator whose tenure can sometimes be cross-referenced against other civic issues from the Ephesian conventus.
