| Aanvullende informatie |
Alliance coinage between Hierapolis and Ephesus belongs to a well-documented phenomenon of homonoia issues — formal declarations of civic concord between cities competing fiercely for imperial favor and the prestigious title of neokoros, granted to cities permitted to maintain an imperial cult temple. Ephesus held multiple neokorate titles; Hierapolis was eager to align itself with that prestige. These joint bronzes were not trade tokens but political gestures, struck to advertise the harmony between two cities jockeying for position within the Roman province of Asia.
The pairing dates to the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus, before Valerian's capture by Shapur I at Edessa in 260 ended his reign in humiliation.
