| Additional information |
Tralles, a prosperous city in the Maeander valley, was one of the more active provincial mints during the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus — a period defined less by stability than by the simultaneous pressure of Sassanid raids in the east and Gothic incursions across the Danube. The magistrate name preserved in the obverse legend, Alexandros, anchors this piece to a specific civic administrative moment that the imperial mint system would never have recorded.
Provincial bronze of this size from the Ephesian conventus was struck for purely local circulation and rarely traveled far.
