Æ29 - Valerian and Gallienus ΕΠΙ ΓΡ Π ΚΛ ΜΕΝΙΠ/ΠΟΥ ΚΕΝ ΤΡΑΛΛΙΑΝΩΝ

Tralles, a prosperous city in the Maeander valley, retained the right to strike civic bronze under Roman supervision well into the third century — one of relatively few Asian cities still doing so during Valerian's reign. The magistrate named in the legend, Π. Κλ. Μένιππος, served as grammateus, the civic official responsible for authorizing the issue, and his name appearing across multiple die pairings suggests a sustained local minting episode rather than a single commemorative run. Valerian's capture by Shapur I at Edessa in 260 effectively ended the co-reign these coins celebrate.
